His son, Wahb, was left behind, a prisoner in the hands of the Muslims. Umayr feared that the Muslims would punish the youth severely because of the persecution he himself had meted out to the Prophet and the torture he had inflicted on his companions.

Safwan ibn Umayyah listened intently to the words of Umayr and did not wish this opportunity to pass. As for your family, I shall take them as my own family and give them whatever they need.
