Ruwaifa bin Thabit Al-Ansari (his biography and his narratives)

Abstract

This study dealt with the biography of the great companion Rwaifa bin Thabit bin  Uday bin Sakan Al-Ansari - may God be pleased with him - and his narrations, with the aim of introducing this great companion, after collecting what was available about him in the books of hadith, layers and Autobiographical in some detail, and collecting his narrations to limit them and clarifying the sayings of hadith scholars in judging them in terms of health and weakness. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which are: that Rwaifa' is the son of Uday bin Sakan Al-Najari Al-Khazraji Al-Madani Al-Ansari, and he is not Al-Balawi as some of the biographers imagined, and that he died in Barqa and not in the Levant as those who did not verify, and that he was one of the people of knowledge and opinions, and that he narrated fourteen hadiths, all of which are attributed except for one, and all of them are true except for one, and that Rwaifa' was not alone with news from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
