Mabad al-Khuzaah

Mabad al-Khuzaah was a companion of Muhammad who supported him during the Invasion of Hamra al-Asad at Tihamah, where Mabad pledged to disclose all information to him. Mabad was subsequently dispatched to Mecca to disseminate misleading information. ^{[1] [2]} While in Mecca, Mabad encountered Abu Sufyan and conveyed fabricated claims that Muhammad had assembled a formidable force against him. Abu Sufyan and his allies were reportedly planning a large-scale, decisive assault onn Medina to eliminate the Muslim community. Upon learning of Muhammad's alleged military strength from Mabad, Abu Sufyan abandoned his plans for an imminent attack on the Muslim community. Through these actions, Muhammad reportedly averted the planned Meccan offensive. ^{[3] [4]}

He was trusted by both Muslims and Arab polytheists at the time according to the Muslim scholar Tabari. ^[5]
