'''Qays b. ʿUtba b. Rabīʿa b. ʿAbd Shams b. ʿAbd Manāf''', (Arabic: {{iarabic|قیس بن عتبه بن ربیعة بن عبد شمس بن عبد مناف}}) well-known as '''Abū Ḥudhayfa''' (d. [[12]]/633 ), one of the great [[companions]] and early Muslims, one of the people who migrated to [[Abyssinia]] and [[Medina]] and took part in the majority of [[Ghazwa]]s and [[Sariyya|Saraya]] and was given the accolade of being martyr in [[the battle of Yamama]].

He became Muslim before [[the Prophet (s)]] had gone to Arqam's home for promoting Islam.<ref>Khalifa, ''al-Tabaqat'', Vol.1, P.28.</ref> His sister Hind, [[Abu Sufyan]]'s wife, blamed him by two odious verses of poem.<ref>bn Ishaq, Sirat(of the Prophet), P.210.</ref>

He migrated to [[Abyssinia]], along with his wife, Suhayl b. 'Amr's daughter, and his son by the name of Muhammad was born there.<ref>Ibn Ishaq, Sirat(of the Prophet), P. 156, 205.</ref> According to what is implied from Ibn Sa'd's words, Abu Hudhayfa had migrated for twice to Abyssiniah.<ref>Ibn Sa'd, ''al-Tabaqat al-kubra'', Vol.3, P.84. </ref> Ibn al-Kalbi<ref> Ibn al-Kalbi, ''Jamharat al-nasab'', vol.1, P.200.</ref> and al-Baladhuri<ref>Baladhuri, ''Ansab al-ashraf'', Vol.3, P.199.</ref> have verified this claim. After the rumor stating that infidels of [[Mecca]] had become Muslims was spread, some of emigrants came back to Mecca. When they were notified of its falsehood, either they hid themselves or were sheltered by great masters of infidels.<ref>Tabari, ''Tarikh al-rusul'', Vol.2, P.340.</ref> Meanwhile, Abu Hudhayfa was protected by Umayya b. Khalaf.<ref>Baladhuri, ''Ansab al-ashraf'', Vol.3, P.227.</ref>

Abu Hudhayfa was present in [[the Battle of Badr|Badr]], [[the Battle of Uhud|Uhud]], [[the Battle of Khandaq|Khandaq]], [[the Battle of Hudaybiyya|Hudaybiyya]], and other wars.<ref>Ibn Sa'd, ''al-Tabaqat al-kubra'', Vol.3, P,84; Ibn 'Abd al-Barr,''al-Isti'ab'', Vol.4, P.1631.</ref> Moreover, we are aware of his presence in some [[Sariyya|saraya]], like a sariyya commanded by [[Hamza b. 'Abd al-Muttalib]] which happened 7 months after [[Hijra|the migration to Medina]],<ref>Waqidi,''al-Maghazi'', Vol.1, P.9.</ref>a sariyya commanded by [['Abd Allah b. Jahsh]],<ref>Waqidi,''al-Maghazi'', Vol.1, P.19.</ref>and the sariyya of Qatan commended by Abu Salama<ref>Waqidi,''al-Maghazi'', Vol.1, P.345.</ref>.

After Abu Hudhayfa's death, [[Uthman]] took the responsibility of his son Muhammad's life expenses. However, when Uthman was besieged by people, Muhammad was one of those who rebelled against him and encouraged the people of [[Egypt]] to stand up against him. After Uthman's murder, he fled to [[Sham]] and was murdered by Rashidin, [[Mu'awiya]]'s slave.<ref>Ibn al-Kalbi, ''Jamharat al-nasab'', Vol.1, P.200.</ref>
