Background and Participation in Battles

Hazrat Muhriz bin Aamir bin Malik passed away in the morning when they were departing for the Battle of Uhud. His full name was Muhriz bin Aamir and he was from the Banu Adiyy bin Najjar tribe. His mother was Sauda bint Khaithima bin Harith who belonged to the Aus tribe. His mother was the sister of Hazrat Sa‘d^(ra) bin Khaithima. With regard to him it has been written that he had two children from Ummi Sahl bint Abi Kharijah whose were Asmaa and Kulthum. He participated in the Battle of Badr. The day on which the Holy Prophet^(sa) was to depart for the Battle of Uhud, the very same morning he passed away. He was counted among those people who participated in the Battle of Uhud. (Al-Tabkaat-ul-Qubra Li-ibn Sa‘d, Pt. 3, p. 388, Muhriz bin Aamir, Dar-ul-Kutub Al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, 1990). This is because his intention was to join them, and it was for this reason that the Holy Prophet^(sa) counted him among those who participated in the battle.
