Thumamah ibn uthal biography of mahatma gandhi

Have you wondered who was the first ever Muslim on the face of the earth to enter Makkah reciting the Talbiyah? Thumamah was a leader in the province of Al Yamamah, a region close to the modern day Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The story of a man captured and tied to a column of the Prophet Masjid is well known to all. That man was no other than Thumamah RA who was an enemy of Islam at that time.

He had set out to Makkah for pilgrimage in the pagan way. He was tied to the pillar but treated kindly by the Prophet, who approached him daily asking how he was.

Thumamah left to fulfill his intention of doing Umrah, but now as a Muslim. When he reached the valley of Makkah, he began shouting the Talbiyah. The Quraysh were shocked to hear this, with swords drawn they set out to punish the one who had assaulted their preserve but as they came closer they found out it was Thumamah RA.

One of the young Quraish was so angered that he was about to throw an arrow at Thumamah RA but was grabbed by the another man and was told he was the ruler of Al Yamamah and they should not harm him, as this will cause a cut off in their supplies from Yamamah with dire consequences. He returned to his land and ordered his people to withhold supplies to Quraysh.
