  _Companions of the Prophet._

  The _sahabah_, as they are called, are the subject of a vast
  literature, and the biographical dictionaries devoted to them, of
  which the best known are the _Usd ul-ghaba_ of the historian Ibn Athir
  and the _Isabah_ of Ibn Hajar al-`Asqalani, enumerate many thousands.
  The following two lists are of special groups.

  (a) _Naqibs_, i.e. leaders selected by Mahomet from the Medinese
  tribes: i. _Khazrajites_:--As`ad b. Zurarah, Sa`d b. al-Rabi`,
  `Abdallah b. Rawahah, al-Bara' b. Ma`rur, `Abdallah b. `Amr b. Haram,
  `Ubadah b. al-Samit, Sa`d b. `Ubadah, al-Mondhir b. 'Amr; ii.
  _Ausites_: Usaid b. Hudair, Sa`d b. Khaithamah, Rifa`ah b. `Abd
  al-Mondhir.

  (b) _Commanders of Expeditions_: names occurring in (a) are not
  repeated: `Abdallah b. Jahsh, `Abd ar-Rahman b. `Auf, Abu Bekr, Abu
  Qatadah, Abu `Ubaidah b. al-Jarrah, `Ali, `Alqamah b. Mujazziz, `Amr
  b. al-`As (ibn el-Ass), Bashir b. Sa`d, Dahhak b. Sofian, Ghalib b.
  `Abdallah, Ibn Abi'l-Auja, Ka`b b. `Umair, Khalid b. al-Walid, Kurz b.
  Jabir, Marthad b. Abi Marthad, Muhammad b. Maslamah, Qutbah b. `Amir,
  Sa`d b. Abi Waqqas, Sa`d d. Zaid, Salama b. `Abd al-Asad, Shuja` b.
  Wahb, `Ubaidah b. al-Harith, `Ukkashah b. Mihsan, `Umar b. al-Khattab,
  Usamah b. Zaid, `Uyainah b. Hisn, Zaid b. Harithah.

  AUTHORITIES.--The biography of Ibn Ishaq was before the world long
  before the two chief causes for the falsification of tradition had
  begun to have serious effects; these were the need for legal
  precedents, and the concept of saintliness, combining those of
  asceticism and thaumaturgy. These gave rise to the classical works on
  the _Evidences of Mohammed's Mission_ by Abu Nu`aim (d. A.D.
  1012-1013) and Baihaqi (d. A.D. 1066).
