Mention of Sayyiduna Amr bin Sa'id bin al-As bin Umayyah bin Abd Shams bin Abd Manaf (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Sa'id bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Khalid bin Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam, and his father Abu Uhayhah treated him as he did (harshly), he still did not turn back from his religion and stayed close to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). His father's son Amr bin Sa'id, however, was (still) on his father's religion; then, when Amr accepted Islam, he joined his brother Khalid in the land of Abyssinia, together with his wife Fatimah bint Safwan bin Umayyah.

Sayyidah Umm Khalid bint Khalid (may Allah be pleased with her) relates: My uncle Amr bin Sa'id came to us in Abyssinia two years after my father's arrival, and he remained there until he set sail in the ships with the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at Khaybar in the year 7 AH. Amr then took part with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Conquest of Makkah, Hunayn, Ta'if and Tabuk. Then, when the armies set out for Syria, he went out with them, and he was martyred at the Battle of Ajnadayn in Jumada al-Ula, 13 AH, during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). The commander of the people on that day was Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him).
