Abstract

Islam, being a universal code of life was revealed by Almighty Allah  on his last messenger and beloved prophet (S.A.W) for the guidance of the entire humanity after presenting the Holy religion, a very sacred group complying with it was given the prestige of a Sahaba. The word Sahabi with its plural Sahaba or Ashab is an Arabic word literally meaning “a companion of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). The sacred group stood by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) in every thick and thin besides rendering heavy sacrifices and migration. Some of them migrated within the perimeter of the Arabs while some migrated to Non-Arab areas. This was actually in consonance with the message of the last sermon emphasizing upon the present to communicate to the absent. Among whom was one, Sanan bin Salma along with other companions during the caliphate of Hazrat Maawiya(R.A) in the year 44th Hira after conquering makran, entered into Peshawar through routes of D.I Khan, Bannu and Kohat and resultantly got martyred there. The tomb of whom still lie at Peshawar Chugharmati by the name Ashab Baba. The article focuses on the biography of Sanan bin Salma.
