Nawfal was the son of Khuwaylid ibn Asad and hence a paternal brother of Khadijah. His mother, known only as "Al-Adawiya", was from the Adiy clan of the Khuza’a tribe.[1]
"He was one of the principal men of the Quraysh."[2] He had the byname "Lion of the Quraysh" and "was well known for his physical strength and bravery."[3]
His son Al-Aswad was an early convert to Islam who joined the migration to Abyssinia in 616.[4] However, Nawfal opposed Muhammad and was known as "a satan of the Quraysh".[5] At one time he bound Abu Bakr and Talha ibn Ubayd-Allah with a rope.[6][7] Due to this, those two became known as Al-Qareenayn, "the two tied together".[3]
He was killed by Ali during the Battle of Badr in 624.[2] However, according to another tradition, he was killed in the battle by his own nephew, Zubayr ibn al-Awwam.[8]
