Tam Tərcümeyi-hal
Habib ibn Maslamah al-Fihri, also known as "Habib the Roman-defeater" (Habib al-Rum), was one of the most successful military commanders of the early Islamic conquests. He accepted Islam at a young age and quickly demonstrated extraordinary martial gifts. The Prophet ﷺ reportedly made a supplication for him, and he became one of the most sought-after commanders in the Levant campaigns.
He served under Khalid ibn al-Walid and later as an independent commander under various caliphs. He was known for the speed of his campaigns and his ability to negotiate favorable surrenders of fortified cities. He participated in the conquest of parts of Anatolia and Armenia. Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan, as governor and later caliph, valued him greatly. He died around 42 AH.
