Mad'an (slave)


Mad'an was a slave of Muhammad mentioned in the Hadith.
He was an African slave given to Muhummad in 628AD by a man called Rifa'ah bin Zaid, from the Banu Ad-Dubaib.
Mad'an was shot by an arrow in a place called Wadi al-Qura, 360km north of Medina, for stealing a cloak from the spoils of war at the Battle of Khaybar.
