Suraqa ibn Malik

Surāqa ibn Mālik ibn Juʿshum al-Kinānī (سراقة بن مالك بن جعشم الكناني) was a member of the Kinana tribe who converted to Islam.

Pursuit of Muhammad and Abu Bakr
When Muhammad and Abu Bakr fled from Mecca, Quraysh announced a reward of 100 camels for anyone who tracked them down.

He succeeded in finding them, but as soon as he caught sight of them, Muhammad reportedly prayed to Allah and invoked evil upon him so that the legs of Suraqa's horse sank into the sand. Subsequently, Suraqa asked Muhammed to stop and invoke good upon him and in return, he promised that he will stop anybody else from chasing them.

On the way back, whenever he met somebody looking for the prophet, he would say: "I have looked for him here in vain.". This caused whoever was looking for Muhammad and Abu Bakr to return.

Death
Suraqa passed away in the year 644 during the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan. It is also said that he passed away after Uthman.
