ʿAbd Allāh ibn 'Ubayy ibn Salūl (Arabic: عبد الله بن أبي بن سلول), died 631, was a chieftain of the Khazraj tribe of Medina. Upon the arrival of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, Ibn Ubayy seemingly became a Muslim, but Muslim tradition says that he remained treacherous to Islam until his death. Because of repeated conflicts with Muhammad, Islamic tradition[which?] has labelled him a Munafiq (hypocrite) and "leader of the Munafiqun".[1]
