Amr ibn Asad

ʿAmr ibn Asad was the uncle of Khadijah رضي الله عنها and, since her father had died before the time of her marriage to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, ʿAmr became her marriage guardian (walī). When Abu Ṭālib came with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and delivered the khuṭbah of proposal, praising Allah, speaking of the noble lineage of Quraysh and the character of his nephew, and offering a mahr of twelve ʿuqiyyah wa niṣṣan, it was ʿAmr ibn Asad who stood and responded: 'This is a young man who cannot be refused. We accept.'
