Ubayd-Allah ibn Jahsh

Ubayd-Allah ibn Jahsh

Ubayd-Allah ibn Jahsh ( _ar. عبيدالله بن جحش) was the brother of Zaynab bint Jahsh. He is one of the four monotheistic hanifs mentioned by Ibn Ishaq. The others being Waraqah ibn Nawfal, Uthman ibn Huwarith and Zayd ibn Umar.

He was married to Ramlah bint Abu Sufyan (who was also known as Umm Habiba Ramla). They had a daughter named Habibah bint Ubayd-Allah.

He and his wife became Muslims and, in order to escape from the Meccan persecution, they emigrated to Abyssinia, where the Christian king gave sanctuary to the Muslims. There Ubayd-Allah eventually converted to Christianity and testified his new faith to the other Muslim refugees. Ibn Ishaq relates:

Due to his conversion, he was divorced from his wife. He stopped following the Islamic prohibition of drinking alcohol, and eventually died in Abyssinia.

Later on Prophet Muhammad married his former wife, and later on his sister, Zaynab bint Jahsh.
