Özet:

Budayl b. Warqāʿ was one of the valuable companions of the Prophet. He had a home in Mecca and he was from the tribe of Khuzāʿa which was a prominent tribe in the history of Mecca. The tribe of Khuzāʿa transmitted the news in Mecca to the Prophet, therefore, the members of Khuzāʿa tribe were mentioned as close friends and confidants of the Prophet in our sources. There is no clear information about the father, mother, and wives of Budayl. He had six boys whose names could be identified. All of them became Muslims and they participated in important activities. He acted as the negotiator in the treaty of Ḥudaybia before becoming a Muslim and kept both sides away from war with his words. There is controversy about the date of his conversion to Islam (before or after the conquest of Mecca) but it seems more appropriate that he became a Muslim after the Hudaybia treaty. In this period, an invitation letter which was sent by the Prophet that mentions his name is thought to be effective on his being a Muslim. Budayl was in the committee who to the Prophet about the attack of the tribe of Banū Bakr to the tribe of Khuzāʿa. He participated in the conquest of Mecca and battles of Ḥunayn and Tabūk and he had important missions. He participated in the farewell pilgrimage with the Prophet and he announced his orders to the people. Budayl who narrated three hadiths from the Prophet, died before the Prophet.
