al-Khaṭṭāb ibn Nufayl (Arabic: الخطاب بن نفيل) was an Arab chief from the tribe of Quraysh. He lived during the 6th century and was a contemporary of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. His son Umar would later become Muslim, and would come to be regarded by Sunni Muslims as the second "Rightly guided Caliph" (Arabic "Rashidun"). Thus, he was the ancestor of a good number of the companions of the Prophet (Arabic: ṣaḥāba).^[1]

Biography[]

One time, his nephew Said ibn Zayd taunted him for worshiping idols.

He had a son, Umar. His other children included a daughter, Fatimah bint al-Khattab, and a son Zayd ibn al-Khattab. The daughter married the hanif Said ibn Zayd, and later would both become Muslims. However, they hid their new faith from al-Khattab and Umar. Al-Khattab died between 614 and 616.^{[2][unreliable source?]}
