The Imprisonment of Abdullah bin Hudhafa as-Sahmi - Abu Uwais Abdullah Ali

Who was Abdullah bin Hudhafa as-Sahmi?  Here is a narration from Sahih al-Bukhari to answer that question.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:  Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) sent a letter to Khosrau with `Abdullah bin Hudhafa as-Sahmi and told him to hand it over to the governor of al-Bahrain. The governor of Al-Bahrain handed it over to Khosrau, and when he read the latter, he tore it into pieces. (The sub-narrator added, "I think that Ibn Al-Musaiyab said, 'Allah 's Apostle invoked (Allah) to tear them all totally Khosrau and his companions) into pieces.

Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadeeth no.: 4424 

Book 64: Book of Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) (Al-Maghaazi) 

Chapter 82: The letter of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) to Kisra (Khosrau) and Qaiser (Caesar)

Hadith 446

Now bearing this in mind, listen to Abu Uwais Abdullah Ali (rahimahullah Ta'ala) narrate the story of how this sahabi (radiAllahu anhu) was captured, imprisoned, tortured, and bribed in order to entice him to leave his religion (radiAllahu anhu).
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
