Dear Readers, As Salaamu Alaikum
Today we will share with you the story of one of the Matyrs in Islam- Musab bin Omair (radi Allahu anhu). As Muslims it is important for us to know the sacrifice made and the struggle done by many different companions of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam.
One such great personality was Musab bin Omair (radi Allahu anhu).
Young and handsome, elegant and rich, Musab bin Omair (radi Allahu anhu) was born and brought up in wealth and luxury. Wherever he would pass by fragrance would linger in the air. But after his mother found out about his embracing Islam she shackled and imprisoned him in a corner of the house. He managed to escape and migrate to Abyssinia. He migrated the second time too and then returned. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) chose him as his envoy and sent him to Madinah to prepare it to become the crucible of Islam, a job he accomplished brilliantly.
He participated in Badr and carried the flag in Uhud. He held onto the flag till he fell a martyr, struggling to prevent the disbelievers from reaching and harming the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam). When the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) saw his corpse his eyes overflowed with tears and he recited, “Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah.” [Surah al-Ahzab, Ayat 23]
Musab bin Omair (radi Allahu anhu) emigrated for Allah's cause, so his reward became due with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. But he passed away without enjoying anything in this life of his reward. He did not leave behind anything except a sheet of shredded woolen cloth. If his head were covered with it, his feet were uncovered, and if his feet were covered with it, his head was uncovered. Crying, the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “I saw you at Makkah, and there was not a more precious jewel, nor a more distinguished one than you, and here you are bare-headed in a (single) garment!”
With Best Wishes
