Salim Mawla Abu Hudhayfah
Encyclopedia
Salim Mawla Abu-Hudhayfah (سالم مولى أبي حذيفة) was one of the sahaba
of Muhammad
. He was named so since he was the freed slave of Abu Hudaifah ibn Utbah, see Mawla
.
He participated in the battle against Musaylimah
as a standard bearer of the Muhajireen and displayed unexpected valour. His people feared that he would show weakness or be too terrified to fight. To them he said, "If you manage to overtake me, what a miserable bearer of the Qur'an
I shall be." He then valiantly plunged into the enemy ranks and eventually died in battle.
Muhammad is quoted by Sunnis as saying:
states:
He had contributed in all major battles, such as Badar,Uhud,Ahzab etc.,so he is the Badarian companion of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him).
