Musab ibn Umayr was one of the earliest converts to Islam in Mecca, from an affluent family of the Banu Abd al-Dar clan. Abandoning comfort for his faith, he was sent by the Prophet to Yathrib (Medina) as the first ambassador of Islam. Standard-bearer at the Battle of Uhud in 625, he fell as a martyr.
