Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S51) The Tragic incident of Rajee: Time passed and our Beloved Messenger's ﷺ message was now spreading further. It is related that after the Battle of Uhud (~4 A.H.) a group of men from the tribes of Adal and al-Qaarah came and requested that Holy Prophet ﷺ to send some of his Companions رضي الله عنهم with them to teach them about Islam. The Messenger ﷺ sent with them 6 of his Noble Companions رضي الله عنهم amongst whom was Hadrat Khubayb رضي الله عنه. However at the well of ar-Rajee' which was not far from Usfaan (i.e which was just a few miles from Makkah) they proved treacherous and 3 of the Companions رضي الله عنهم were thus martyred and the other 3 رضي الله عنهم taken as prisoners to be sold in Makkah (i.e so they could avenge those of their nobles who had been killed at Badr and Uhud).
