The Ṣaḥābah (الصحابة‎ Companions) were the companions of Prophet Muhammad. According to traditional Islamic sciences, an individual must have seen Muhammad, believed in his prophethood and died as a believer in order to be considered a Sāhib or companion.[1] So this would exclude Ubayd-Allah ibn Jahsh (brother of Zainab bint Jash, the cousin and wife of Muhammad),[2] who was considered one of the Sahabah but later converted to Christianity.[3] Those that saw Muhammad but held off believing in him until after his death are not considered Sahabah but rather Tabi'un.[1] In hadith attributed to Muhammad, he says that the Sahābah are among the best generation of Muslims on Earth, along with the Tabi‘un and the Tabi' al-Tabi'un.
