Abu Fuhayra RA became a Muslim in Makkah before 614.From the year 614 he was tortured in Makkah in an attempt to force him to recant his faith.His persecutor is not directly named; but the persecution stopped when Saidina Abu Bakr RA bought him from Al-Tufayl and manumitted him. As was usual for freed slaves, Abu Fuhayra RA remained in Abu Bakr's service and had the special care of grazing his milking ewe....... http://sohabih.blogspot.com/2017/08/abu-fuhayra-ra.html
