Prophets Companions

The Prophet's companions, also known as the Sahabah (Arabic: الصحابة), were the individuals who lived in the time of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and had both met him and accepted Islam. The term Sahabah is derived from the Arabic word sahaba, which means "companions" or "followers." In Hebrew, the term can be translated as חבריו של הנביא (Chaverav shel HaNavi). In Persian, they are referred to as Sahābah (صحابه), and in Turkish as Sahabe. The companions of the Prophet are highly revered in Islam, as they played a crucial role in the spread and preservation of the religion. They are considered to be the most knowledgeable about the practices and sayings of Muhammad, which are recorded in the Hadith literature. The companions are also believed to have been guaranteed paradise by Muhammad, a status known as al-Ṣaḥābah al-Muʾayyadūn (الصحابة المعيادون) or "the supported companions." Their narratives and actions provide essential context and interpretation for the Quran and the foundations of Islamic jurisprudence and theology.
