Early Life: He belonged to the Banu Sahm clan of the Quraysh. Assuming he was over ninety years old when he died, he was born before 573.

He was the son of Layla bint Harmalah aka "Al-Nabighah". Before his military career, Amr was a trader, who had accompanied caravans along the commercial trading routes through Asia and the Middle East, including Egypt. Amr ibn ul Aas was born in Makka, Arabia and died in Egypt. He was a sharp, highly intelligent man who belonged to the nobility of the Quraysh. He fought with the Quraysh against Islam in several battles. He went to fight the Muslims when he saw them praying with the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), he got highly interested and tried to find out more about Islam. He was determinedly hostile to Islam. In fact he was Quraysh’s envoy to the Negus, the ruler of Abyssinia. Once he converted to Islam with Khalid ibn al-Walid, he became a great commander fighting for the Islamic cause. Amr ibn ul aas mosque, the first mosque in Africa, was built under the patronage of Amr ibn ul aas. He came to Egypt as the commander in chief of the Arab troops in 640 AD.

Like the other Quraysh chiefs, he opposed Islam in the early days. 'Amr headed the delegation that the Quraysh sent to Abyssinia to prevail upon the ruler, Ashaama ibn Abjar (possibly Armah), to turn away the Muslims from his country. The mission failed and the ruler of Abyssinia refused to oblige the Quraysh. After the migration of Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) to Medina 'Amr took part in all the battles that the Quraysh fought against the Muslims. read more

Sajdah-Sahw will become Wajib (compulsory) in the following instances: while he was busy with his recitation he stopped and began thinking of something, he sat in the second or fourth Rakaat for At-Tahiyyaat and did not commence reciting it immediately. Instead, he sat and started thinking of something, when he stood up from the Ruku, he stood silently and started thinking of something, when he sat down in-between the two Sajdahs, he started thinking of something. In other words, if a person unintentionally delays in executing a particular posture or gets delayed due to thinking of something, then Sajdah-Sahw becomes Wajib.

`That doesn't matter,' said the greedy merchant, `you enjoyed the smoke coming out of them, so you have to pay.'

When the argument grew, the two had to ask Nasreddin to resolve their differences. They told their stories. Nasreddin got the picture. He dropped a few coins on his wood desk. The coins made clink-clank sounds.

`Did you hear the sound of the money?' he asked the meat seller.

`Yes.'

`If you sell the smoke of the meat, then you get the sound of the money.' Nasreddin retorted.
