- Most Muslims regard anyone who knew or saw God's last prophet Muhammed, believed in his teachings, and died as a Muslim to be a companion or Ṣahābi. Lists of prominent companions usually run to fifty or sixty names, being the people most closely associated with Muhammad. However, there were clearly many others who had some contact with prophet Muhammad. Many of them were identified by later scholars, and their names and biographies were recorded in religious reference texts such as prophet Muhammad ibn Sa'd's early Kitāb at-Tabāqat al-Kabīr.

Many of them were identified by later scholars, and their names and biographies were recorded in religious reference texts such as prophet Muhammad ibn Sa'd's early Kitāb at-Tabāqat al-Kabīr. It was important to identify the companions because later scholars accepted their testimony (the hadith, or traditions) as to the words and deeds of prophet Muhammad, the occasions on which the Qur'an was revealed, and various important matters of Islamic history and practice (sunnah). The testimony of the companions, as it was passed down through chains of trusted narrators (isnads), was the basis of the developing Islamic tradition.
