Hadhrat Sohaib's ( Radhiyallaho anho ) coming into Islam;
Hadhrat Sohaib and Hadhrat Ammaar ( Radhiyallaho anho ) became Muslims
at the same time. The Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) was staying at Arqam's
( Radhiyallaho anho ) place,when they both came separately with the same intention
of embracing Islam and met each other at the door of the house. Sohaib
( Radhiyallaho anho ) also suffered very much at the hands of his persecutors, like
other poor Muslims of that time.At last he decided to emigrate to Madinah.The Qureysh
would not tolerate this and soon after his departure a party went in pursuit to bring him
back to Macca. As the party drew near,he shouted to them:
"You know that I am a better archer than all of you. So long as I have a single arrow
left with me,you will not be able to approach me and,when I finish all my arrows, I shall
fight you witl my sword, as long as it is in my hand. If you can get my money which I
have left in Macca and my two women slaves, in lieu of me."
And they agreed. He told them the whereabouts of his money, and they allowed him to
proceed to Madinah. At this, Allah revealed the follwing verse of the Qur'an to the Prophet
( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ):
