Shuja ibn Wahb al-Asadi

Shujāʿ ibn Wahb al-Asadī (Arabic: شجاع بن وهب الأسدي) (died 633 CE) was a prominent companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the pre-Islamic era, who participated in wars including Badr and Uhud. Some sources also suggest that Muhammad sent him as a messenger with letters to most of the world's kings at that time. Also, a hadith narrated by Imam al-Zuhri said that Shuja was the messenger of Muhammad sent to the Persian king Khosrow II. He was the one who handed over the letter sent by Muhammad to Khosrow.

Biography Shuja ibn Wahab's real name was Shuja and his nickname was Abu Wahab. His father name was Wahab ibn Rabi’ah.

Shuja was an early convert to Islam. Forced to torture the idolaters of Mecca, Shuja went to Habsha with the second group of hijratis. During their habsha stay, when there were rumours that all the inhabitants of Mecca had accepted Muhammad's loyalty, he went to Mecca. When he arrived he found that the news was false, and after staying in Mecca for a few days he safely migrated to Medina. After his migration to Yathrib he developed a religious fraternal relationship with Hazrat Aws. He was a little over forty years old at the time of his death.
