Haram ibn Milhan
حرام بن ملحان
A senior Companion from Banu al-Najjar of the Khazraj, maternal uncle of Anas ibn Malik; entrusted with the Prophet's letter to Amir ibn al-Tufayl at Bi'r Ma'una; when stabbed treacherously through his neck from behind, he wiped the blood on his face and uttered his famous words: 'Allahu Akbar, I have triumphed, by the Lord of the Ka'ba!'
