This verse (NO.106) was revealed on the occasion, that, some Muslims were severely persecuted, but they stood firm and patient. Among them were AMMÄR, and his father YÄSER, and his mother SUMAYYE, and also BALÄL, SOHAIB and KHOBÄB, who were all wildly persecuted. None of them recanted, and Ammär's mother (SOMAYYE) was the first martyr of Islam. Ammär himself was too young to endure such persecutions, particularly when he saw how dreadfully his parent were slew in his sight, and thus the young man was compelled to utter the words that the idolaters dictated, and his remarks were wrongly construed as recantation. This was while his heart was full of belief in Allah and His Messenger; and he never wavered in his faith. When Ammär was released for his utterance some of the Muslims blamed him for being apostate. He came to the prophet after that, and the Messenger of God consoled him for his sufferance and confirmed his faith saying:ِ

      ``I know Ammär better than all. He is full of faith from his tip to toe, and belief is mingled with his flesh and blood.''
