They said, his name was Habib, and he used to work with ropes. He was a sickly man who suffered from leprosy, and he was very charitable, giving half of his earnings in charity, and his Fitrah (natural inclination) was sound."Shabib bin Bishr said, narrating from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that,the name of the man mentioned in Ya Sin was Habib An-Najjar, and he was killed by his people.قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَHe said:"O my people! Obey the Messengers."-- he urged his people to follow the Messengers who had come to them
