Before Islam
Ammar was born in the Year of the Elephant (570). Therefore he is as old as Muhammad. Ammar was a friend of Muhammad even before Islam. He was one of the intermediaries in his marriage to Khadijat Al-Kubra. He was a slave of Banu Adi.His Islam
His mother was Sumayyah bint Khabbab, the seventh one to accept Islam 1. He is most famous for the hadith by the Islamic prophet Muhammad:
- ''Ammar will be killed by the errant group. (Arabic: تقتل عماراً الفئة الباغية )
His torture
Abu Jahl and Umar, before his Islam, used to torture the prophets companions. The family of Ammar was the most tortured. His parents died under torture, thus were the first martyrs of Islam. Ammar and Bilal were about to face the same fate if it was not to Abu Bakr to ransom them.His loyalty to Ali
Ammar bin Yasir is famous for his loyalty to Ali and is considered by Shi'a as one of the four of the companions of the prophet who stayed most loyal to Ali Bin Abi Taleb right of succession after the death of the prophet Mohammad. He was one of the heros of the battle of Badr. He was also a commander of some of the army units of Imam Ali in his battles.His death
He was killed by a group loyal to Mu'Awiyah in the battle of Siffin (657)]. His killer was ibn Hawwa esaksaki and Abu Al'Adiyah.He died while reciting the hatith hadith of the prophet Muhammad that "Ammar would be killed by a band of revolts". Upon this Amro Bin Al'aas the right hand of Mu'Awiyah said that it was Ali who killed him since he sent him to us. Ali upon hearing this replied that " By a corollary then it was prophet who killed Hamza since he brought him to the battlefield "External links
