The First Envoy

The Prophet ﷺ sent Khirash from Hudaybiyya to the Quraysh — the first emissary. When he arrived in Makkah, the Quraysh slaughtered his camel and nearly killed him before he escaped back to the Muslims. 1 History of Islam · Vol 1 · pp. 201 — Najeebabadi — the Quraysh slaughter Khirash ibn Umayya's camel and nearly kill him at Hudaybiyya.

2 Seerat-e-Mustafa · Vol 2 · pp. 100 — Idris Kandhlawi — Khirash ibn Umayya the first Hudaybiyya envoy.

In his place the Prophet ﷺ then sent Uthman ibn Affan. 3 Seerat-e-Mustafa · Vol 2 · pp. 100 — Idris Kandhlawi — after Khirash's mission failed, Uthman is sent as envoy in his place.
