عامر بن ربيعة العنزي
Amir ibn Rabi'a al-Anzi
The Early Emigrant to Abyssinia
Xidhiidhka uu la lahaa Nabiga ﷺ
Amir was one of the Prophet's earliest and most loyal companions, sharing the experience of Meccan persecution and multiple emigrations. The Prophet held him in high regard as a pioneering believer. Amir's household and personal conduct were shaped by close daily contact with the Prophet, and his narrations reflect the intimate knowledge of prophetic manners that only the earliest companions possessed.

Passed away in Medina
Taariikh Nololeed Dhamaystiran
Amir ibn Rabi'a al-Anzi was among the earliest converts to Islam and participated in both the first and second migrations to Abyssinia — a testament to his unwavering commitment during the harshest years of persecution in Mecca. He was a confederate (halif) of the Khattab family and his wife Layla bint Abi Hathma was also among the first emigrants. Together they endured years of exile and hardship for the sake of their faith before eventually returning to Medina.
He fought in the Battle of Badr and many subsequent campaigns. He is known for the hadith about the evil eye — the Prophet warned people after Amir admired a companion so much that the companion fell ill. This narration established important Islamic rulings about the evil eye and the prescription of saying 'Barak Allah.' He passed away in 23 AH in Medina, mourned as one of the pioneering believers.
Hadallo Caan ah
"We left everything for Allah — our homes, our wealth, our tribe — and Allah replaced it all."
