Yasir ibn Amir ibn Malik al-Ansi (; sixth/seventh century C.E.) was an early companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He is the second martyr in Islam, with the first being his wife, Sumayya.
Early life
Yasir was originally from the Malik clan of the Madhhij tribe in Yemen. He and his two brothers, Al-Harith and Malik, travelled northwards to Mecca to search for a fourth brother who was lost. Al-Harith and Malik returned to Yemen, but Yasir decided to settle in Mecca. He entered the protection of Abu Hudhayfa ibn al-Mughira, a member of the Makhzum clan of the Quraysh tribe.
Abu Hudhayfa gave Yasir his slave Sumayyah as a wife; they had a son, Ammar, in c.566. Yasir also had two other sons, Hurayth and Abdullah, After the death of Abu Hudhayfa left Yasir and his family without a protector in Mecca,
