Wahshi ibn Harb

Waḥshī ibn Ḥarb al-Habashi (Arabic: وحشي بن حرب الحبشي, lit. 'The Savage, son of War, the Ethiopian'), also known as Abu Dusmah, was a former slave of Jubayr ibn Mut'im before becoming a freedman and a Sahabi (companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad). He is best known for killing a leading Muslim fighter, Hamza ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, Muhammad's paternal uncle, prior to converting to Islam, and afterwards reportedly killing Musaylimah, the leader of an enemy apostate army waging war against the Muslims. Wahshi's grandson, Wahshi ibn Harb ibn Wahshi ibn Harb, was a Hadith narrator.
