Khattab ibn Nufayl was an Arab from the tribe of Quraish. He lived during the 6th century and was a contemporary of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. His son Umar would later become Muslim and is regarded by Sunni Muslims as the second "Rightly guided Caliph" (Arabic "Rashidun"). Thus, he was an ancestor of Sahaba.[1]
