Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'a

Imprisonment by Abu Jahl

Ayyash was one of the immigrants who went to Medina before Muhammad. He migrated with Umar ibn Khattab. Abu Jahl decided to get him back and spread a false story that Ayyash's mother was ill. Abu Jahl went to Medina with his brother Harith and told Ayyash that his mother was ill. Umar warned Ayyash not to go, and gave his own healthy camel to Ayyash to help him escape if needed. On the way to Mecca, Abu Jahl tied Ayyash and took him to Mecca and then imprisoned him.

Hz.Muhammad's prayer

Salama ibn Hisham said that Abu Hurayra said that Prophet Muhammad used to pray, "O' Allah, rescue Ayyash ibn Abi Rabia! O' Allah, rescue Salama ibn Hisham! O'
Allah, rescue al-Walid ibn al-Walid! O' Allah, rescue all oppressed believers!"
