Отношения с Пророком ﷺ

Marthad was among the companions the Prophet ﷺ could count on for the most dangerous and self-sacrificial missions. His rescue operations were known to the Prophet ﷺ, who blessed them. The Prophet mourned the martyrs of al-Raji deeply, knowing each of them had given their lives in an act of pure Islamic service — teaching rather than fighting.

Полная биография

Marthad ibn Abi Marthad al-Ghanawi was among the early Muslims who accepted Islam in Mecca. He was a man of great physical strength and bravery. Before and after the hijra, he performed a remarkable act of personal courage: he secretly traveled multiple times between Mecca and Medina to rescue imprisoned and enslaved Muslims, carrying them on his back through the dangerous mountain passes at night.

He was martyred at the tragic mission of al-Raji in 3 AH, when a delegation of companions was treacherously killed by the Adal and Qara tribes after being invited to teach Islam. Marthad was among the group of ten (or seven, in some narrations) companions who were ambushed. He faced the enemy with calm courage and was martyred. The Prophet ﷺ praised him and the others who fell at al-Raji.
