Sumeyah (Arabic: سُمَيَّة; c. 550–615), was the first member of the Umma (community) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad to become a shahida (martyr), shortly before her husband Yasir ibn Amir was also martyred for his conversion to Islam.^[1]^[2]^[3] Her full name is said to be Sumayya bint Khabbat or Sumayya bint Khayyat. Her son was Ammar ibn Yasir.

They were the first and the second martyrs of Islam, and this is a distinction that no one in all Islam can share with them.
