Background, Participation in Battles and Martyrdom

Hazrat Sinan bin Saifi belonged to the Banu Salma branch of the Khazraj tribe. His mother was Naila bin Qais and he had one son named Mas‘ud. In 12 Nabawi, as a result of the preaching efforts of Mus‘ab bin Umair he accepted Islam. He entered the fold of Islam alongside the 70 Ansar Companions [Muslims who were the inhabitants of Medina] during the Bai‘at Aqabah Thania. He participated in the battles of Badr and Uhud (Al-Tabkaat-ul-Qubra Li-ibn Sa‘d, Pt. 3, p. 291, Sinan bin Saifi, Maktaba Dar-ul-Hayaa Al-Turath Al-Arabi, 1996) (Habeeb Kibriya Ke Teen Sau Ashaab by Talib Hashmi, p. 325, Nadeem Yunus Printers, Lahore, 1999). He also fought in the Battle of the Ditch in which he attained martyrdom. (As Siratun Nabawiyyta Li Ibne Hisham, Pt. 1, p.276, Dar-ul-Kutubil Arabi, Beirut 2008)
