It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah that al-Muttalib bin Abi Wada'ah bin Sabirah bin Sa'id bin Sa'd bin Sahm bin Amr bin Husays bin Ka'b bin Lu'ayy bin Ghalib bin Fihr bin Malik accepted Islam on the day of the Conquest of Makkah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Muttalib bin Abi Wada'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrate in Surah al-Najm, and all the people prostrated with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Muttalib said: I did not prostrate with them that day, because at that time I was a polytheist. Al-Muttalib (later) used to say: Now (after becoming Muslim) I will never abandon prostrating in this surah.

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Jaz' bin Ma'dikarib bin Amr bin Usaym bin Amr bin Uwayj bin Amr bin Zubayd died in the year 86 AH.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Jaz' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "After me there will be rulers at whose doors trials will lie (in abundance) like the resting places of camels. They will not give anyone anything except that they will take from his religion the like of it in return."

It is narrated from Urwah that the name of Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) was Amr bin Qays.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that during his Hajj the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf riding on his she-camel "al-Jad'a'", while Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) held its halter and recited rajaz verses.

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that the name of the mother of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) was Atikah bint Abdullah bin Ankathah bin Amir bin Makhzum, and he (himself) is Amr bin Qays bin Za'idah bin al-Asamm bin Harim bin Rawahah bin Abd bin Ma'is bin Amir bin Lu'ayy. The correct view is what Mus'ab said, because he affirmed both of his names.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the first of the Muhajirun to come to us (in Madinah) was Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him); then after him the blind Companion Sayyiduna Amr bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us.

It is narrated from al-Sha'bi that he came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) was with her. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was cutting citron for him, which he was eating with honey. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Ever since Allah Almighty reproached His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning him, this has been his standing in the household of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." And what the Mother of the Believers meant was the revelation of the surah "He frowned and turned away" [Surah Abasa: 1] .

It is narrated from Masruq that he said: I went to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and a blind man was sitting there, and she was cutting citron for him and feeding it to him with honey. I asked: O Mother of the Believers! Who is this? She said: "This is Ibn Umm Maktum, concerning whom Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, reproached His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." She related that Ibn Umm Maktum came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while Utbah and Shaybah (chiefs of Quraysh) were sitting with him (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was attending to the two of them. Then these verses were revealed: "He frowned and turned away, because the blind man came to him" [Surah Abasa: 1-2] , and the one meant by this is Ibn Umm Maktum.
