A Day Long Enough

‘Amr ibn Thabit embraced Islam on the morning of Uhud, joined the army, fought — and was martyred the same day. He had not lived long enough as a Muslim to pray a single salah. Abu Hurayra later said of him:

“This was a man admitted to Paradise without having performed a single salah.”
