 There are different accounts of al-Abbas's conversion to Islam: early days of Islam,<ref>Balādhurī, ''Ansāb al-ashrāf'', vol. 3, p. 1, 3.</ref> on the eve of Hijra,<ref>Ibn ʿAsākir, ''al-Tārīkh al-kabīr'', vol. 7, p. 232.</ref> before the [[Battle of Badr]],<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-nabawīyya'', vol. 2, p. 301.</ref> after being taken as captive in the Battle of Badr,<ref>Yaʿqūbī, ''Tārīkh al-Yaʿqūbī'', vol. 2, p. 46.</ref> or in the [[Battle of Khaybar]].<ref>Balādhurī, ''Ansāb al-ashrāf'', vol. 3, p. 1, 3.</ref> According to al-Dhahabi, it seems that al-Abbas converted to Islam after the Battle of Badr.<ref>Dhahabī, ''Siyar aʿlām al-nubalāʾ'', vol. 2, p. 99.</ref> However, Ibn Athir takes the Prophet's (s) order that al-Abbas should not be killed to be evidence that he was already a Muslim before the battle.<ref>Ibn Athīr, ''Usd al-ghāba'', vol. 3, p. 110.</ref>
-However, according to some sources, Umm al-Fadl, al-Abbas's wife, was the second woman who converted to Islam.<ref>Balādhurī, ''Ansāb al-ashrāf'', vol. 3, p. 1, 3.</ref> After the Hijra, the Prophet (s) separated his daughter, [[Zaynab bt. Muhammad]], who had converted to Islam from her husband, Abu l-As, who had not converted to Islam. They remained separated until [[6]]/627 when Abu l-As converted to Islam.<ref>Ibn Ḥabīb, ''Kitāb al-muḥabbar'', p. 53.</ref> This shows that the ruling of separation between a Muslim wife and a non-Muslim husband was in place at least after the Hijra. Therefore, if al-Abbas was a polytheist, the Prophet (s) would separate him from his wife.
