Al-Jarud ibn Mualla al-Abdi was the chief of the Abd al-Qays tribe from Bahrain who came to the Prophet ﷺ as part of their delegation and embraced Islam with firm conviction. He had previously been a Christian and debated the merits of his former faith before concluding that Islam was the truth. When apostasy spread across Arabia after the Prophet's death, he held his tribe firmly to Islam and refused to abandon the faith, becoming a symbol of steadfastness during the Ridda wars.
