Prominent disbelievers (e.g Abu Jahal) would secretly listen to the verses of the Holy Qur'an because they were too amazed by it.
Die as a Martyr
Amr bin Thabit (R.A) became a muslim during the battle of Uhud, and died as a martyr in the same battle. When asked about him, Rasulullah (SAW) said that he was from the People of Paradise, even though he had not prayed a single solah.
