Abd Allah bin Tariq

Abd Allah bin Tariq was a companion of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.[1] He was killed during the Expedition of Al Raji. In 625 [2] some men requested that Muhammad send instructors to teach them Islam,[2] but the men were bribed by the two tribes of Khuzaymah who wanted revenge for the assassination of Khalid bin Sufyan by Muhammad's followers and they killed the Muslim's[3] After killing Asim ibn Thabit, Hudhayl wanted to sell his head.[1]

However, the Muslims refused to believe the promise of the polytheists and fought back. All the Muslims, except Zayd bin al-Dathinnah, Khubyab bin Adi and Abd Allah bin Tariq were killed. These three Muslims surrendered and were taken as prisoners to be sold in Mecca.[1]
