One of the first men of Yathrib to believe, who hosted Islam's first teacher there.

As'ad met the Prophet ﷺ at the pilgrimage season and pledged at Aqabah. He hosted Mus'ab ibn Umayr in Yathrib and went with him from house to house, bringing chiefs like Sa'd ibn Mu'adh to Islam. He led the first Friday prayers there, and died within the first year after the Hijrah, before Badr.
