Background and Participation in Battles

Waqadi has recorded Hazrat Amr bin Abi Sarh’s^(ra) name as Ma‘mar bin Abi Sarh. He belonged to the tribe of Banu Harith bin Fehr and his title was Abu Saeed. He passed away in 30 AH in Medina during the era of Hazrat Uthman^(ra). His brother, Hazrat Wahab bin Abi Sarh^(ra), was from among those who migrated to Abyssinia, and both brothers took part in the Battle of Badr. They also took part in all other battles alongside the Holy Prophet^(sa), including the Battle of Uhud and Khandaq. His progeny did not continue. (Usdul Ghaba Fi Marifati Al-Sahaba, Vol. 3, pp. 724-725, Amr bin Abi Sarh, Dar-ul-Fikr wa An Nashr wa At Tauzi’, Beirut, 2003)

When he migrated from Mecca to Medina, he stayed in the house of Hazrat Kulthoom bin Hadam^(ra). (Al-Tabakaat-ul-Qubra Li-ibn Sa‘d, Vol. 3, p. 318, Ma’mar bin Abi Sarh, Dar-ul-Kutub Al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, 1990)
