About
An uncle of the Prophet ﷺ and also his foster brother, since both were nursed by Thuwayba (Bukhārī). He accepted Islam in Makkah after striking Abū Jahl for insulting his nephew. He fought at Badr and was killed at Uḥud by Waḥshī, and the Prophet ﷺ grieved deeply over him. The Prophet ﷺ is reported to have called him Sayyid al-Shuhadāʾ, the chief of the martyrs; tradition also gives him the title Asad Allāh, the Lion of Allah.
The name
From a root meaning strength and sharpness; a name of firmness, also used for the lion.
