He was the son of al-Harith ibn Sakhbara, who was from the Azd tribe, and Umm Ruman bint Amir, [1] who was from the al-Harith tribe of the Kinana group. [2]
The family migrated to Mecca, where his father became the ally of Abu Bakr. Soon afterwards, al-Harith died, leaving Tufayl and his widowed mother completely dependent on Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr married Umm Ruman c.601. [1]
Tufayl was the owner of the slave Amir ibn Fuhayra, whom he later sold to his stepfather. [3]
When their mother emigrated to Medina in 622, Tufayl and his brother Abdulrahman remained in Mecca. [2]
