Salit bin 'Amr 'Ala bin Hadrami was a 7th-century Muslim emissary to Bahrain.
He was among the 83 Makkans Muslims who migrated to Ethiopia from Mecca after undergoing harrowing feats of persecution by the Quraishi idolators. Their contingent was headed by Muhammad's cousin Ja`far bin Abī Tālib, Uthman, Rkia (the daughter of Muhammad and Khadija).
The Ruler of Bahrain, Al-Mundhir bin Sawa, was a Christian so Muhammad felt that Salit bin 'Amr 'Ala bin Hadrami, who had lived among the Christians in Ethiopia and understood their traditions was the right emissary.
