Abdullah ibn Omayr Abu Wahab al Kalbi was one of the Companions of Husayn ibn Ali, who was killed along with him in the battle of Karbala. Wahab Al Kalbi joined Husayn ibn Ali in Karbala and fought alongside him. He belonged to Al Kalb tribe majority of whom were adherents of Christianity at that time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Story of Karbala - Part 5 ABDULLAH BIN WAHB AL-KALBI )〕 His wife Umm Wahab was amongst the female casualties in Husayn's army at the Battle of Karbala.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The second phase of the battle of Karbala )〕 ==Early life and conversion to Islam== Wahab was a Christian by birth and converted to Islam. He was a known businessperson of Kufa.〔〔〔 Wahab discussed with his mother and wife before converting to Islam and later joining Al Husayn ibn Ali in the battle against Yazid's forces. Wahab was returning from Kufa after getting married. He was still seventeen years and his wife was just twelve years old. When Wahab was passing from Karbala he saw Husayn ibn Ali surrounded by the enemies and was along with his family and very few friends. Wahab was inspired by Al Husayn’s spiritual charisma in such a manner that he was reluctant to leave him despite of being aware about the consequences of staying with Husayn ibn Ali. Wahab was a tall and masculine man with broad shoulders, who was held with very high esteem among his people, and was known of his courage and soldierly experience. On the preceding night of Ashura the following conversion was held between Wahab and his mother:〔 Wahab asked her: 'Mother! What should I do in this situation?' The mother asked Wahab: 'How do you feel yourself, my son?' Wahab said: 'In my opinion Husayn is on the just path and it would be cowardly and against all traditions of Arab chivalry and gallantry to leave the side of a man so isolated and surrounded by blood-thirsty enemies.' The mother said: 'But that means definite death.' Wahab replied: 'Yes I know, but my heart tells me that this is the right thing to do, in these circumstances.' The mother then said: 'If that is how you feel then we will stay with Husayn.' Wahab’s mother then pleaded on his behalf and said:〔 "O grandson of the prophet of Islam ! It will be an honor for me if my son fights for you and gives his life protecting you." Husayn was still reluctant to accept Wahab as one of his soldiers and advised him not to risk his life that too in a matter which concerns Muslims. When Abu Wahab saw this, he said: 'O grandson of the prophet of Islam! If that is the case then, from this moment on, I am a Muslim.' Wahab testified (Kalimah)〔 that: “There is none worth worshiping besides Allah and Mohammad is His messenger” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abdullah ibn Omayr Abu Wahab al Kalbi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
