Martyrdom of His Parents
“Ultimately, Yasir (ra) met his demise by this torture, and as for the elderly Sumaiyyah (ra), the cruel Abu Jahl struck a spear into her thigh so mercilessly that piercing her body it reached her private area, and this innocent lady gave her life tossing in pain at that very place. Now, only Ammar (ra) was left. He was also subjected to extreme torture and anguish, and it was said to him, ‘Until you deny Muhammad, we shall continue torturing you.’ In extreme frustration, Ammar (ra) said certain inappropriate words, upon which the Quraish released him. However, quickly thereafter, Ammar (ra) presented himself before the Holy Prophet (sa) and began to weep bitterly. The Holy Prophet (sa) asked, ‘Why Ammar, what is the matter?’ He responded, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have been ruined! These tyrants gave me so much grief that I uttered some inappropriate words about you.’ The Holy Prophet (sa) responded, ‘How do you find your heart?’ He responded, ‘O Messenger of Allah, my heart is still a believer and is satiated in the love of Allah and His messenger.’ The Holy Prophet (sa) said, ‘Then all is well. May Allah forgive your mistake.’”
