Background and Participation in Battles

Hazrat Zamrah^(ra) bin Amr Juhni’s^(ra) father’s name was Amr bin Adiyy. Some also report his father’s name as Bishr. He was a confederate of the tribe of Banu Tareef. However, according to some, he was a confederate of the tribe of Banu Sa‘idah, which was the tribe of Hazrat Sa‘d^(ra) bin Ubadah. Cconfederate means that they had a mutual agreement to help each other, should a need arise. Allamah Ibn Athir writes in Usdul Ghaba, “This is not a contradiction because Banu Tareef was a branch of Banu Sa‘idah.” Hazrat Zamrah^(ra) participated in the battles of Badr and Uhud and was martyred during the Battle of Uhud. (Usdul Ghaba, Vol. 3, pp. 60-61, Dhamrah(ra) bin ‘Amr Juhni, Dar-ul-Kutb Ilmiyyah, Beirut, 2003)
