Sinan Bin Salamah bin Mohbik (Arabic: سنان بن سلمة بن المحبق) (8/628-53AH/673AD) born on the day of conquest of Makkah.
Salama, his father prepared to leave for the war of Hunain and heard the news of his birth, he compelled to put off his expedition but later expressed these words:
Muhammad prayed for Sinan when he was taken to him. He as usual put his Lughab in his mouth. He also touched his face with blessing hands. He named him Sinan with subject to his father's words.[1]
Sinan was a child he was habitual to collect the scattered dates in the garden. The day he was busy to collect the dates along with other children, the Caliph Umar happened to come there. The children went away within no time but Sinan remained still at that place and did not moved to go. The Caliph came near and inquired of him but he responded in a manner which moved the Caliph to love and help him to reach home safe and sound.[2]
Sinan Bin Salamah bin Mohbik sent two times as a governor of Sind (modern-day Pakistan) during 42 and 48AH(664,670AD) at the time of Amir Muawiyah I (41-60H/663-81AD).[3]
