The mother said to her son: Do you want to go to al-Arqam's house? Mus'ab kept silent. The mother went on: This room will be your prison till you leave Muhammad's religion. Mus'ab firmly said: I prefer death to that! The man chained Mus'ab, and his mother pushed him towards the room that became his prison. Days passed. Mus'ab suffered from hunger and loneliness in prison. He was always weeping. The Prophet [s] and the Muslims heard about Mus'ab's sufferings. They took pity on him. They were filled with admiration because he preferred prison to all his amusements.
