the leaders of the tribe of Al-Aws. He is the one whose stick had lit
up for him at night when he was returning to his home after
accompanying theProphet . He embraced Islam at the hands of Mus'ab ibn
'Umayr and he was among those who killed the leader of theJews, Ka'b
ibn Al-Ashraf. The Prophet nominated him to collect the obligatory
charity and alms from the tribes of Muznah and Bani Saleem. He also
assigned to him to lead the guard during the Battle of Tabook. 'Abbaad
showed extreme courage in the Battle of Al-Yamaamah, and he had a
lofty status. He lived to be forty-five years and make him pleased.

He is Khaalid ibn Zayd ibn Kulayb ibn Tha'labah Abd Amr ibn Aw fibn
Ghanam ibn Maalik ibn An-Najjaar ibn Tha'labah ibn 'AmrAl-Ansaari
Al-Khazraji. He witnessed the second Al-'Aqabah Pledge of Allegiance,
as he went out with the delegation of Madeenah to give the Prophet
their pledge of allegiance in Makkah.
When the Prophet reached Madeenah, emigrating from Makkah, he stayed
at the house of Abu Ayyoob and he also paired him and Mus'ab ibn
'Umayr as brothers. He witnessed all the military expeditions with the
Prophet .
It is narrated that when the Prophet married Safiyyah in Khaybar, he
passed the night with her in a tent belonging to Abu Ayyoob who passed
the night carrying his sword to guardthe Prophet . He remained going
around the tent until the morning, and when the Prophet got up and saw
him in his place, he asked him: "What is up with you, O Abu Ayyoob?"
He replied, "O Messenger of Allaah, I was afraid of this woman (i.e.,
Safiyyah) on you, for you have justkilled her father, her husband and
her people, and until recently, she was in unbelief. So I was afraid
of her on you." Whereupon, the Prophet said: "O Allaah! Preserve Abu
Ayyoob as he spent the night preserving me."
He died in the year 52 A.H.
'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood ibn Ghaafil Al-Huthali :
The Prophet nicknamed him Abu 'Abdur-Rahmaan. His father died in the
Jaahiliyyah (Period of Ignorance), but his mother embraced Islam and
accompanied the Prophet so he was often called by the name of his
mother, 'Ibn Umm 'Abd'. He was among the first forerunners to Islam,
being the sixth among the first six to enter into this religion. He
emigrated to Al-Habashah and to Madeenah as well, and he witnessed the
Battle of Badr and all the other battles with the Prophet . He was the
one who delivered the deathblow to Abu Jahl, and the Prophet granted
him the sword of Abu Jahl when he brought his head to him. He also
guarded the Prophet on the day of the treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah.
Moreover, 'Umar ibn Al-Khattaab put him in charge of the state
treasury in Al-Koofah during his Caliphate.
Ibn Mas'ood died in the year 32 A.H., at the end of the Caliphate of 'Uthmaan .
Abu Qataadah Al-Ansaari :
He was the horseman of the Prophet . There is a differenceof opinion
among historians about his name, yet the most well-known opinion is
that his name is Al-Haarith ibn Rab'iyy ibn Dawmah ibn Khinaas. He was
alsoamong the guards of the Prophet . He narrated about one-hundred
and seventy Hadeeths (narrations) from the Prophet and from these
Al-Bukhaari and Muslim have agreed upon eleven. Al-Bukhaari has
exclusively related two Hadeeths, and Muslim related eight.
Anas ibn Abi Marthad Al-Ghanawi :
His nickname is Abu Yazeed, and the name of his father is Kinaaz ibn
Al-Haseen. Both Anas and his father accompanied the Prophet the father
being twenty years older than his son.
On the day of the Battle of Hunayn, the Prophet asked his Companions :
"Who will be on guard tonight?" Anas ibn Abi Marthad Al-Ghanawi
said,"I shall, O Messenger of Allaah." [Abu Daawood]
