Imam Ibn Hishām رحمه الله, while documenting the events of the Battle of Uḥud, preserves a detail that many overlook. Among those who attacked and wounded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a man named ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī, who struck the Prophet ﷺ and caused a wound to his blessed forehead. At Uḥud, in one of the most painful, blood-soaked moments of the entire Seerah, he stood among the enemies of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. And yet, SubḥanAllāh, Allah guided him later to Islam. Not only did Allah forgive and guide the very man who once raised his hand against His Beloved ﷺ, but Allah decreed that through his lineage would rise one of the greatest preservers of the Sunnah in human history: Imam Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī
