As Jahsh and his son Abd-Allah ibn Jahsh embraced Islam, whole of their clan embraced Islam.
He was the brother of Zaynab bint Jahsh, who married Muhammad.
[edit] To Abyssinia, 615
He joined other Muslims including his father Jahsh in emigrating to Abyssina and later moved to Medina. Jahsh joined Sad ibn abi Waqqas in overseas preaching. The Islamic people Chams of Cambodiya trace their origin to a father-in-law of Prophet[1] who is Jahsh (Geys), the father of Zainab (wife of Muhammad). Chinese Muslims dedicated a mauseleum in Hami, 400 miles east of Urumqi in Xinxiang, to Jahsh's (Geys') memory that was misconstrued as Geys' tomb by later generations.[2]
Abd-Allah ibn Jahsh was killed in the battle of Uhud by Akhnas ibn Shariq.[3]
