Abdullah ibn hudhafah as-sahmi biography of abraham

He was known for his strong faith in God and his messenger. He was also among those who were willing to sacrifice their whole lives for the light of Islam to spread. Abdullah ibn Hudhafah was given the chance to meet two world potentates of his time, Khusraw Parvez the King of Persia and Heraclius, the Byzantine emperor. The story of his encounter with Khusraw Parvez took place in the sixth year of the hijrah when Prophet Mohamed PBUH decided to send some of his Companions with letters to rulers outside the Arabian Peninsula inviting them to Islam.

Which was a very hard mission to accomplish.

The Prophet commissioned six of his Sahabah to carry his letters to Arab and foreign rulers.

He started by praising God and thanking Him. He then recited the Shahadah and went on: "I want to send some of you to the rulers of foreign lands but don't dispute with me as the Israelites disputed with Jesus, the son of Mary. One of these was Abdullah ibn Hudhafah. He was chosen to take the Prophet's letter to Khusraw Parvez, the Persian king.

Abdullah prepared himself and bade farewell to his wife and son. He set out, alone, and traversed mountains and valleys until he reached the land of the Persians. Abdullah asked for permission to enter into the king's presence informing the guards of the letter he was carrying. Khusraw Parvez thereupon ordered his audience chamber to be made ready and summoned his prominent aides.

When they had assembled he gave permission for Abdullah to enter.

Abd Allah ibn Hudhafa al-Sahmi (Arabic: عبد الله بن حذافة السهمي, romanized: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥudhāfa al-Sahmī) (died ) was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

He entered and saw the Persian beautifully dressed in delicate, flowing robes and wearing a great, neatly arranged turban. On the other hand Abdullah was wearing plain, coarse clothes of the Bedouin. His head though was held high and his feet were firm.
