Wahshi (ra): He Killed The Lion of Allah and A False Prophet | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman

About this lecture

In this episode of The Firsts, Dr. Omar Suleiman tells the remarkable story of Wahshi ibn Harb — the enslaved Abyssinian warrior who killed the Prophet's ﷺ beloved uncle Hamza at the Battle of Uhud, later embraced Islam, and redeemed himself by slaying the false prophet Musaylimah al-Kadhdhab with the very same spear. The lecture explores profound themes of forgiveness, grief, repentance, and divine mercy — showing that even the deepest wounds can coexist with forgiveness, and that no sin is beyond the mercy of Allah.
