Background and Participation in Battles

Hazrat Malik^(ra) bin Qudamah’s father was Qudamah bin Arfajah, and according to one narration, the name of his paternal grandfather has been mentioned as Harith. That is, he was referred to as Harith instead of Arfajah. Hazrat Malik belonged to the clan of Banu Ghanam of the Ansar tribe of Aus.

Hazrat Malik^(ra) participated in the Battle of Badr along with one of his brothers, Hazrat Munzir^(ra) bin Qudamah. Hazrat Malik^(ra) also participated in the battle of Uhud.
