The Firsts (Sahaba Stories) | The Forerunners of Islam

Jarir ibn Abdullah (ra): The Yusuf of this Ummah | The Firsts

October 23, 2024

How beautiful would you be if an angel wiped your face? It happened to Jarir ibn Abdullah (ra), a Yemeni companion of the Prophet ﷺ. He was called “the Yusuf of this ummah.” But he had another special gift—the power of persuasion.

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.
