Delegation of the Incident of Raji & Imprisonment
Hazrat Khubaib (ra) bin Adiyy was among the delegation involved in the incident of Raji in 4 AH. Hazrat Khubaib (ra) bin Adiyy and Hazrat Zaid (ra) bin Dasna were captured by the idolaters, who took them along with them to Mecca and upon reaching, sold both of the companions. Hazrat Khubaib (ra) bin Adiyy was bought by the sons of Harith bin Aamir, so that they could avenge their father’s death who was killed by Khubaib (ra) on the day of Badr.
According to Ibn Ishaaq, Hujair bin Abu Ihaab Tameemi, who was a confederate of the children of Harith, bought Hazrat Khubaib (ra). Uqbah, the son of Harith, bought him from Abu Ihaab, so that he could avenge his father’s death. It is also reported that Uqbah bin Harith bought Hazrat Khubaib (ra) from the Banu Najjar. According to yet another source Abu Ihaab, Ikramah bin Abu Jahl, Akhnath bin Shuraiq, Ubaidah bin Hakeem, the sons of Umayyah bin Abu Utbah Hazarmi and Safwan bin Umayyah all bought Hazrat Khubaib (ra). These are all the individuals whose fathers were killed during the Battle of Badr. They all bought Hazrat Khubaib (ra) and gave him to Uqbah bin Harith, who then imprisoned him in his home.
