Talk:List of Sahabah

This is a list of the Companions of Muhammad, the Sahaba. The Sahaba are listed by date of birth and date of conversion to Islam.

Jesus

Some scholars say (i believe it was either Ibn Taymiyyah, or his student Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya), that since Jesus (as) met Muhammad (saw) during the Isra (Isra and Miraj), then technically speaking, Jesus was one of the Sahabah. Food for thought. MinorFixes (talk) 05:16, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

The list of the Shi'a view of the Sahaba

Ja'far ibn Abu Talib Ali's brother.

Abdullah ibn Ja'far Zainab bint Alis husband.

Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib (insert text)

Obaidah ibn al-Harith was the first Muslim to be killed in battle. He was a cousin of Muhammad and Ali, and he was the first Martyr of the battle of Badr.

Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib is in contrast to Sunnis considered Muslim by Shias, arguing that Ali inherited him which would be forbidden if he where an unbeliever.

Aminah bint Wahab was Muhammads mother and Muslim, although she was died before Muhammads call.

Fatima bint Asad was Alis mother and like a mother to Muhammad.

Fatima bint Hizam married Ali and gave him four sons that died in Karbala.

Salman the Persian gave Muhammad the idea to dig the trench, is said that he was elevated in merited to the same level as the Ahl ul-Bayt. He did not give allegiance to Abu Bakr, until Ali supposedly did so.

Bilal ibn Ribah stopped singing the adhan after Muhammad as his protest of Ali's right being usurped. Was highly praised by Imam Jafar al-Sadiq as a lover of Ahl ul-Bayt.

Abu Dharr Ghifari is called by Muhammed as "the most truthful man between heaven and earth", loudly opposed Uthmans caliphate, was exiled to death by Uthman.

Abdullah ibn Abbas was a staunch follower of Ali. Did not give allegiance to Abu Bakr, until Ali supposedly did so. Accompanied Ali when he demanded his inheritance from Umar and sought very badly of Umar and Abu Bakr. Strongly argued against Umar's prohibition of temporary marriage. Convinced 20'000 of 24'000 the Khawarij to return to Ali. Cried at the age of 70 when recalling Umar calling Muhammad "Delirius".

references for list

could someone who is an expert on this subject please add either a single reference for the names in black and red, if there is one, or a reference for each name? Im not disputing this list, i really doubt someone would add names here that werent Sahaba, but we need that reference. Quranic scholars, help out.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:56, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Shi'a critique of the Sahaba

Why is this here? There is already a page about this, and at most, a link to that page with a short explanation should suffice. I think this needs to be removed if no one has any valid objections.
