Background and Participation in Battles

Ibn Ishaq writes the name of Hazrat Abas bin Aamir bin Adiyy as Abas and Musa bin Uqbah has written it as Absi. His mother was Ummul Banin bint Zuhair bin Tha‘laba. He was from the Banu Salma family of the Khazraj tribe from among the Ansar. Hazrat Abas was among those 70 Companions who were present at the occasion of the pledge at Aqabah and he participated in the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud.
