3. After Conversion Of Islam
When Quraysh knew of the conversion of Yasir's family to Islam, they were among the "victims who were tortured at Makkah to make them recant." The Makhzum clan used to take out Ammar ibn Yasir with his father and mother in the heat of the day and expose them to the excessively-hot environment of Mecca and torture them in the scorchers of the open fire, and Muhammad used to pass by them and say, "Patience, O family of Yasir! Your meeting-place will be Paradise and "O fire! Be cool and harmless for ‘Ammar in the same manner in which you became cool and harmless for Ibrahim;” consequently, Ammar had scars on his body from the torture for the rest of his life. Ammar’s mother was murdered by Abu Jahl she is considered the first Muslim martyr.

4. Ammar is said to have died in battle around the age of ninety
Ammar is said to have died in battle around the age of ninety. His death had been predicted by Prophet Muhammad and some believe that the prophecy was so accurate it was one of the signs of prophecy. “Alas! a rebellious group which swerves from the truth will kill Ammar. Ammar will be calling them towards Paradise and they will be calling him towards Hell. His killer and those who strip him of arms and clothing will be in Hell.”
