Abu Huraira
Abū Hurayra ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī al-Zahrānī (Arabic: أبُو هُرَيْرَة عَبْد ٱلرَّحْمَٰن بْن صَخْر ٱلدَّوْسِيّ ٱلزَّهْرَانِيّ; c. 603–679), commonly known as Abu Hurayra (Arabic: أبُو هُرَيْرَة; lit. 'father of a kitten'), was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and considered the most prolific hadith narrator. Born in al-Jabur, Arabia to the Banu Daws clan of the Zahran tribe, he was among the first people to convert to Islam, and later became a member of the Suffah after the migration of Muhammad.
Under Muhammad, Abu Hurayra was sent as a muezzin to al-Ala al-Hadhrami in Bahrain. During the reign of the Rashidun caliph Umar (r. 634-644), he briefly served as a governor of Bahrain.
He memorized over 5,000 hadiths, which later produced more than 500,000 narrator chains, making him an example followed by Sunni Hadith scholars today. The four major Sunni madhahib have all used hadith narrated by Abu Hurayra in major jurisprudential decisions. However,
non-Sunni scholars, including several Shia scholars, have regarded Abu Hurayra as unreliable and a teller of lies.
