Mus'ab ibn Umayr was one of the first Muslims and the first envoy the Prophet ﷺ sent to Yathrib — known as 'the Reciter' because he taught people the Qur'an. He carried the Muhajirun's banner at Badr and Uhud, where he fell in 3 AH.

Mus'ab ibn Umayr
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
Mus'ab ibn Umayr al-Abdari al-Qurashi was among the earliest to enter Islam. When his mother learned of it she starved him and cast him out — he had been one of the softest-living of men — until his skin roughened. After the pledge of Aqaba the Prophet ﷺ sent him with the pledgers to Yathrib to teach the Muslims the laws of Islam; he stayed with As'ad ibn Zurara and the two spread Islam with zeal — he was known as 'the Reciter' — until hardly an Ansar house lacked Muslim men and women. He carried the army's general banner at Badr and the Muhajirun battalion's banner at Uhud, where he fell; he was shrouded in a cloak that left his feet bare when it covered his head, and Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf (may God be pleased with him) said he had been better than himself.
