Abu Lulu Firuz

Abu Lulu Firuz, a slave of al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba, who was a Christian. He stabbed Umar ibn al-Khattab in the market of Medina, and Umar died of the wound. ^{1 2}

According to al-Suyuti he made millstones, and he was a smith, a carver and a carpenter. Al-Mughira asked Umar to let him enter Medina and imposed a tax on him; he complained to Umar, who did not change it. So he threatened that he would make a mill driven by the wind. ³

He then stabbed him with a double-edged dagger in the darkness before dawn prayer. He wounded thirteen men with him, six of whom died, and then he killed himself. ³
