Al-Walid ibn al-Mughira

Al-Walid ibn al-Mughira, chief of the Banu Makhzum, publicly mocked Muhammad and his message. He dismissed the Quran as mere poetry or sorcery, and used his influence to turn the Quraysh against Islam. He was known for his eloquence and wealth.

Al-Walid ibn al-Mughira died before the Battle of Badr, reportedly from natural causes. His death meant he did not participate in the major confrontation between Muslims and Quraysh. He never converted to Islam.
