Mus'ab ibn Umair R.A was a child of a very rich family. From his childhood, he lived in luxuries of life.
Especially as a handsome young man, he was lavished with special love & attention
In fact,he was unique in his luxurious tastes

He wore the most costly clothes and changed them twice a day. His shoes used to be the costliest available at that time.
He was also fond of wearing fragrance. A whiff of his fragrance was enough for the people to know that Mus'ab is passing by.

With all that luxurious lifestyle, he was very intelligent and had an elegant personality with keen mind and mastery in eloquent speech. Because of these qualities, he was moving about among the influential circles of chiefs of Quraysh at a young age.

All of this changed when he accepted Islam..

Mus'ab had to sacrifice his life of luxury for the sake of the truth of Islam. For his love for Islam, he was deprived of all his wealth, every penny of it.

After losing everything he had, he himself devoted all his time and energies in acquiring Islamic knowledge and in the service of Allah. This resulted in abject poverty.

So much so that the young man "Mus'ab' who was famous for elegant dresses, costly shoes and the best fragrance was seen in the same streets of Makkah in tattered coarse clothes. But he did not even complain.

He had found the greatest wealth of all, the love of Allah & the truth of Islam. His keen, intelligent mind had spotted & sealed a real deal by trading in the temporary pleasures of this world for the permanent luxuries of the Hereafter.
Mus'ab R.A was Martyred in Battle of Uhud.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ addressed the dead body of Mus`ab ibn `Umair R.A thus:

"When I saw you for the first time in Makkah, there was nobody more handsome and well-dressed than you". But, I see that today your hair is uncombed and only a sheet of cloth covers your body!

The Martyr of Uhud could not get proper shrouds because in those days Muslims were poor and lacked money. Mus‘ab bin Umair R.A had only a sheet of cloth over his body; if the head was covered, the feet were bare and when the feet were covered the head was left bare.

In the end, his head was covered and his feet were covered with grass.
Such was the shroud of Mus'ab bin ‘Umair R.A – the great martyr of the Muslim nation.
