Biography
The last man in his district of Yathrib (Madinah) to embrace Islam, he set about making up for lost time. He later declined Caliph Umar's offer to become Governor of Damascus, but instead agreed to go there to teach the people the Book of their Lord and the Sunnah of the Prophet and pray with them.
