al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S64) In 50 A.H, during Mugheera’s رضي الله عنه seventh year ruling Kufa, the Angel of Death (a.s) arrived. A once muscular Mugheera رضي الله عنه was now old and pale. There was a plague in Kufa, thus it’s possible Mugheera رضي الله عنه was martyred by the plague. Thus passed away; The handsome, genius and one of the four shrewdest Arabs. The best fruit from Ta’if. The one who destroyed Laat. The one who our Messenger ﷺ called his beloved son. The last to physically touch our Messenger ﷺ. Governor of Bahrain, Busra and Kufa. The warrior for Allah’s سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى sake. The grand nephew of Urwah Ibn Masood رضي الله عنه - al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba! رضي الله عنه He رضي الله عنه was martyred in Sha’baan, 50 A.H, aged ~80. Plagues were a punishment for previous Ummahs, however for ours, due to our Messenger ﷺ making a dua, they are a means of martyrdom for us.
