Duraid bin Sama Jashami lived for 200 years and witnessed the period of Islam, without accepting faith. He was a chief of polytheists during the Battle of Hunain and was at the forefront in fighting the Messenger of Allah (s). He was killed in that same battle.
ومنهم دريد بن الصمة الجشمي، عاش مائتي سنة وأدرك الإسلام فلم يسلم،وكان أحد قواد المشركين يوم حنين ومقدمتهم. حضر حرب النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فقتل يومئذ.
