Muá¹Âim ibn Adi () was a non-Muslim contemporary of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the chief of the Banu Nawfal clan of the Banu Quraish tribe.
His father was 'Adi, son of Nawfal ibn Abd Manaf.
Muá¹Âim died a non-Muslim; however, his son Jubayr ibn Mut'im became a Muslim.
Muá¹Âim was part of the third deputation aimed at having Abu Talib stop protecting Muhammad.
Muá¹Âim, together with four other people, took a prominent initiative that resulted in the end of the Meccan banishment that was causing starvation to the Muslims.
Abu Bakr had initially engaged his daughter Aisha to Muá¹Âim's son Jubayr ibn Muá¹Âim some time between her pubescent 613 and 619. When Muá¹Âim was informed that Abu Bakr had adopted Islam, he no longer wished his son to marry âÂÂAâÂÂisha, who later married Muhammed.
When Muhammad and Zayd ibn Harithah (son of Haritha, who was for a time the adopted son of Muhammad) went to Ta'if to invite them to Islam, but did not succeed and returned to Mecca, he did not return openly. Muhammad sent Zaid to seek asylum for him among his friends in Mecca. MutâÂÂim provided asylum for him and he returned to Mecca.
After Muhammad stated that he had undergone the Isra and Miraj, Muá¹Âim said:
Abu Bakr said:
Sad ibn Ubadah participated in the secret Second pledged. It was not after that the Medinan pilgrims had left the city that the Meccans became aware of meeting and in a fit of rage, they pursued the pilgrims but only managed to catch hold of Sad, who they subjected to great tortures, but he was later rescued by Muá¹Âim and Harith ibn Harb with whom Sad had trade relations.
