Did you read this story.
Abu Dharr (R.A.) was among the first persons to accept Islam.
Let us leave Abu Dharr to continue his own story . . .
After that I stayed with the Prophet (S.A.W.) in Makkah and he taught me Islam and taught me to read the Quran.
Then Prophet (S.A.W.) said to me, "Don't tell anyone in Makkah about your acceptance of Islam. I fear that they will kill you."
"By Him in whose hands is my soul, I shall not leave Makkah until I go to the Sacred Mosque and proclaim the call of Truth in the midst of the Quraish," vowed Abu Dharr (R.A.).
The Prophet (S.A.W.) remained silent. I went to the Mosque. The Quraish were sitting and talking. I went in their midst and called out at the top of my voice:
"O people of Quraish, I testify that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammad (S.A.W.) is the messenger of Allah."
My words had an immediate effect on them. They jumped up and said, "Get this one who has left his religion."
They pounced on me and began to beat me mercilessly. They clearly meant to kill me. But Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (S.A.W.), recognized me. He bent over and protected me from them. He (R.A.) told them: "Woe to you! Would you kill a man from the Ghifar tribe and your caravans must pass through their territory?"
They then released me. I went back to the Prophet (S.A.W.) and when he saw my condition, he (S.A.W.) said, "Didn't I tell you not to announce your acceptance of Islam?"
"O Messenger of Allah," I said, "It was a need I felt in my soul and I fulfilled it."
"Go to your people," he (S.A.W.) commanded, "and tell them what you have seen and heard. Invite them to Allah. Maybe Allah will bring them good through you and reward you through them. And when you hear that I have come out in the open, then come to me."
