Dangantaka da Annabi ﷺ

The Prophet witnessed the torture of Sumayya and her family and could only console them with the promise of Paradise, as he lacked the power to intervene physically at that early stage. Her death steeled the resolve of all early Muslims.

Cikakken Tarihi

Sumayya bint Khayyat was the mother of Ammar ibn Yasir and the first person in Islamic history to be martyred for the faith. As a freed slave woman of weak social standing, she was among the most vulnerable early Muslims and thus among the most brutally persecuted by the Quraysh. She refused under all torture to recant her faith in Allah and His Messenger, and was ultimately killed by Abu Jahl who stabbed her, earning her eternal glory as the First Martyr of Islam.
