Sahaba Role Models™

Named Muhammad Before Islam – The Sahabi Who Refused to Fight Muslims | Muhammad Ibn Maslamah

Sahaba Role Models Season 4 Episode 6

In this unforgettable episode of Sahaba Role Models, we explore the life of Muhammad ibn Maslamah (RA) — a loyal companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, known for his bravery, integrity, and unwavering principles.

While he carried out some of the most sensitive missions during the Prophet’s lifetime, what truly set him apart was what he refused to do. 

After the tragic assassination of Caliph Uthman (RA), civil war broke out among Muslims. While others chose sides, Muhammad ibn Maslamah (RA) fulfilled a prophecy of the Prophet ﷺ: he broke the very sword given to him by the Prophet, refusing to raise it against fellow Muslims. 

Instead, he fashioned a wooden one — a powerful act of loyalty to prophetic guidance over political pressure.

This episode is a deep reflection on moral clarity, prophetic foresight, and staying true to divine principles in the face of fitnah.
