Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S16) A brief biography on the great uncle of Mugheera رضي الله عنه: Urwah Ibn Masood رضي الله عنه. Urwah رضي الله عنه was related to the Quraysh through his mother, through the lineage of Abd Manaf. He رضي الله عنه was related to the Thaqeef through his father. Urwah رضي الله عنه was also related to the Quraysh through marriage ties: He married Abu Sufyan’s daughter, Maymoonah رضي الله عنهم - thus making him the son in law of Abu Sufyan and brother in law of Muawiya رضي الله عنهم. Urwah رضي الله عنه had a son named Da’ood رضي الله عنه, who went to become a great scholar and politician. Our beloved Messenger ﷺ said: “I saw Musa (a.s) and he resembled men from the Shanu'ah tribe. I saw Eesa (a.s) and he resembled Urwah Ibn Masood رضي الله عنه. I saw Ibraaheem (a.s), the person he resembled the most was your companion [i.e The Messenger ﷺ himself]”.
