Sahaba Role Models

From Planning Murder to Spreading Mercy: A Story the World Needs Today

Season 3 Episode 8

Umayr ibn Wahb left Makkah with a poisoned sword and a deadly mission: to assassinate the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). 

He was a man fueled by hatred, backed by powerful allies, and burdened by worldly debts. But something unexpected happened in Madinah—something that shattered his plans and transformed his life.

In this powerful episode of Sahaba Role Models, we uncover the astonishing transformation of Umayr ibn Wahb—from a deadly conspirator to a devoted Muslim who carried the very message he once tried to extinguish.

We reflect on themes of forgiveness, divine intervention, spiritual transformation, and how this story echoes in today’s world of division, radicalization, and the search for meaning.
