THE LIFE AND ACTIVITIES OF SUHEYL b. AMR (r. a.)

Abstract

Suhayl b. Amr is one of the companions who became Muslim after the conquest of Mecca. Before accepting Islam, Suheyl was one of the notables of Mecca and was known by his oratorical power and wealth. When the Islamic message was transmitted to him, he sided with the Mecca’s polytheists and became a representative of them in the Hudaybiyah Treaty. While he was one of the captives of War of Badr, Prophet Muhammed did not allow his punishment. After Prophet's death, he used his well-known oratory power to keep the Muslims in harmony. Realizing late joining to Islam, he did not seek after his old reputation, instead of that to compensate for losses he considered to necessity of struggle in the path of Allah. While Suheyl b. Amr was struggling to spread Islam in the Syrian front, he died as a result of the plague in A.H.18.
