Back to the people of the seerah

The companions رضي الله عنهم

Muṣʿab ibn ʿUmayr رضي الله عنه

مصعب بن عمير

The best-dressed young man in Makkah, who gave it all up for the call.

Where they appear

  1. The journey to Ṭāʾif and the Night Journey (al-Isrāʾ)

    Sent ahead to Yathrib as the first teacher of the Qur'an there after the first pledge of ʿAqabah.

  2. The Hijrah — migration to Madinah

    Carried the banner at Badr and at Uḥud, where he was killed.

How it ended

Killed at Uḥud carrying the banner; there was not enough cloth to shroud him.
