Sumeyah (Arabic: سُمَيَّة; c. 550–615), was the first member of the Umma (community) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad to become a martyr (Arabic: شهيدة, romanized: shahīda, lit. 'female martyr'). Shortly after she was martyred, her husband Yasir ibn Amir was also killed for his conversion to Islam, making him the first male martyr (Arabic: شهيد, romanized: shahīd). Her full name is said to be Sumayya bint Khabbat or Sumayya bint Khayyat. Her son was Ammar ibn Yasir.
