Episode: The Prophet ﷺ’s Bodyguard: Mughira ibn Shu‘ba (ra)
Description: He came to Islam after a severely checkered past, but never let his flaws stop him from assuming his place in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. He used his strength and sense of movement to monitor the Prophet’s every move, and came back to Ta’if with the command to destroy their idol.
