Abbad ibn Bishr (ra): The Friend of the Qur’an | The Firsts

He stood guard over the Muslims’ camp in the middle of the night, praying qiyam. Three enemy arrows struck him as he prayed. But the Friend of the Qur’an wouldn’t stop praying. What happened next?

The Firsts is a weekly video series that chronicles the lives of the Sahaba (the companions of the Prophet ﷺ) during and after the time of the Prophet ﷺ.
