Summary
Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah was a companion of the Prophet from Makkah who took part in the Battle of Badr and narrated hadith. He was sent as the Prophet's envoy to Muqawqis, the ruler of Egypt, to invite him to Islam. He once wrote to the Quraysh about the movement of the Muslim army towards Makkah, yet the Prophet did not punish him because he was a veteran of Badr and affirmed his faith. The event is linked to the opening verses of Surah al-Mumtahanah.
