- .... Ibn Abd al-Barr said: Qudamah ibn Muz'un ibn Habib ibn Wahb ibn Hudhafah ibn Jumah al-Qurashi al-Jumahi was surnamed Abu Umar, and it is said he was called Abu Amr, but the first is more well-known. His mother was a woman from Banu Jumah, and he was the maternal uncle of Abdullah and Hafsah, the children of Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him and his holy progeny). He was married to Safiyyah bint al-Khattab, the sister of Umar. He emigrated to the Land of Abyssinia with his brothers: Uthman and Abdullah. He witnessed Badr and all the other battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). Umar appointed him to govern Bahrain
and then removed him and flogged him for alcohol for a reason that is lengthy to explain, which Ibn Abd al-Barr mentioned. Umar then had a falling out with him but later reconciled to him due to a vision Umar had when he returned from Hajj and was staying at al-Suqiya. He slept, and when he awoke, he said: "Bring Qudamah to me quickly, for by Allah, a visitor came to me in my sleep and said: 'Heal Qudamah, for he is your brother,' so bring him to me quickly." When they brought him, he refused to come, but then he came, and Umar spoke to him and sought forgiveness for him.
Ibn Abd al-Barr said: None of the people of Badr was punished for alcohol except Qudamah ibn Muz'un (may Allah be pleased with him). He died in the year thirty-six at the age of sixty-eight. Ibn Sa'd mentioned him in the accounts of his messengers (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) to al-Mundhir ibn Sawi, along with Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him).
