عمار بن ياسر
Ammar ibn Yasir
The First Martyr's Son, Steadfast Under Torture
নবী ﷺ-এর সাথে সম্পর্ক
Ammar had one of the most tender relationships with the Prophet ﷺ, born out of shared suffering and unbreakable loyalty. When Ammar came to the Prophet ﷺ in tears after being forced to speak against his faith, the Prophet ﷺ wiped his tears and told him that if they torture him again, he could do the same. This act of mercy and understanding defined the Prophet's ﷺ approach to the persecuted believers. The Prophet ﷺ praised Ammar repeatedly, saying he was "filled with faith to the marrow of his bones" and that "a rebellious group will kill him." He would frequently seek Ammar's company and consider him among the truest of his companions in loyalty and steadfastness.

সম্পূর্ণ জীবনী
Ammar ibn Yasir was among the earliest converts to Islam, belonging to a family that collectively suffered the most severe persecution endured by any family in early Islamic history. His father Yasir ibn Amir, mother Sumayyah bint Khabbab, and he himself were all subjected to brutal torture by Abu Jahl and the Quraysh. His parents became the first martyrs of Islam when they were tortured to death for refusing to renounce their faith.
Ammar was tortured relentlessly, and under extreme duress, he was compelled to utter words of disbelief to escape the unbearable pain. Devastated and ashamed, he came to the Prophet ﷺ weeping, and the Prophet ﷺ gently asked: "Was your heart content with faith?" When Ammar replied yes, the Prophet ﷺ revealed to him that Allah had revealed the verse allowing verbal concession under compulsion (Quran 16:106), clearing his conscience entirely.
After the Hijra, Ammar was among the most steadfast of companions. He helped build the first mosque in Quba and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. He participated in all major battles and was renowned for his unwavering loyalty to the Prophet ﷺ and later to Ali ibn Abi Talib. The Prophet ﷺ prophesied about Ammar: "A rebellious group will kill Ammar."
Ammar was killed at the Battle of Siffin in 37 AH at approximately 93 years of age, fighting on the side of Ali ibn Abi Talib. His death fulfilled the Prophet's ﷺ prophecy and caused many soldiers in Muawiyah's army to reconsider their position.
