Biography
Sumayyah bint khyyat (ra), her husband and her son 'Ammar were very often the targets for the cruelty of the quraish. On one occasion as the prophet(saw) was passing by the market place he saw all three members of the family being put through the worst form of torture possible. But he prophet(saw) was so helpless that there was no way he could rescue them. He could only console them and said, “be patient! O family of Yasir! For your final destination is Paradise”.
