أبو عبد الله مُصْعَب بن عُمَير
Aboo ‘AbdilLaah Mus’ab bn ‘Umayr: The first Ambassador of Islām
1. Mus’ab bn ‘Umayr was one of the youth of Makkah and was among the earliest reverts to Islām. He was described as the most charming & handsome
لم يكن يخاف أحداً، ولا يخشى أحداً, ولا يحسب حساب أحدٍ إلا أمه، كيف سيواجه أمه بإسلامه؟
So, Mus’ab concealed his faith & would sneak out of the house to meet the Prophet & his disciples in the house of Al-Arqam bn Abī Al-Arqam where they used to gather to pray.
However, this secret was not to last long. One day, a man named ‘Uthmān bn Talhah saw him going into the house of Al-Arqam
يا أمي, إني لك ناصح, وعليك شفوق، فاشهدي أنه لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمداً عبده ورسوله,فأجابته غاضبة مهتاجة: قسماً بالثواقب
"O Mother, I'm advising you & my heart is with you, please bear witness that there is no god but Allāh & that Muhammad is His servant & messenger." She yelled at him angrily, "By the stars, I will never enter your religion, to degrade
One day, Mus’ab entered upon the Prophet and he was looking tattered and haggard. When the Prophet saw him, his eyes were filled with tears. He said, “I saw Mus'ab here, and there was no youth in Makkah more petted by his parents than he.
At the time he arrived in Yathrib, only 12 people had embraced Islām. Few months later, owing to his great services, over 70 people traveled to meet the Prophet in Makkah for the second pledge of Al-Aqabah
Sadly, he met Ibn Qumay’ah who was a knight and he struck Mus’ab on his right arm and cut it off.
Allāhu Akbar!!!!! He sacrificed his life to protect the Messenger of Allāh!!!!
هاجرنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في سيبل الله نبتغي وجه الله، فوجب أجرنا على الله، فمنا من مضى ولم يأكل من أجره في دنياه شيئ مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ
رضي الله عنك يا أبا عبد الله!!!!
