7. 'Ammar and His Parents.
'Ammar (radiyallahu 'anhu) and his parents were also subjected to the severest punishments. They were tormented on the scorching sands of Makkah. Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) while passing by would advise patience, giving them glad news about jannah. 'Ammar father Yasir (radiyallahu 'anhu) died after prolonged sufferings at the hands of presecutors, and his mother Summayyah (radiyallahu 'anha) was killed by Abu Jahl, who put his spear through the private parts of her body, causing her death. She had refused to renounce Islam in the face of terrible torture in her old age. The blessed woman was the first to meet martyrdom in the cause of Islam.The first masjid in Islam was built by 'Ammar (radiyallahu 'anhu). When Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) migrated to Madinah, 'Ammar (radiyallahu 'anhu) offered to build a structure for him where he could sit, rest in the afternoon, and say his salah under its roof. He first collected the stones and then built the masjid in Quba.
He fought against the enemies of Islam with great spirit and courage. Once he was fighting in a battle when he said rejoicingly: "I am to meet my friends very soon, I am to meet Muhammad (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) and the sahabah." He then asked for water. He was offered some milk. He drank it and said: "I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) saying to me, Milk shall be the last drink of your worldly life'." He then fought till the met his desired end. He was then aged about ninety-four.
