Biografía completa

Uyayna ibn Hisn al-Fazari was the chief of the Ghatafan tribe and one of the most influential tribal leaders in Arabia. He initially opposed Islam and participated in the Confederacy siege of Medina, but later accepted Islam after the conquest of Mecca. He was among the "muallafat al-qulub," those whose hearts were being reconciled to Islam, and despite his complicated past he remained associated with the Muslim community as his conversion marked a significant shift in tribal alliances.
