'''<nowiki/>'Abd al-Rahman ibn Sakhr ad-Dawsi''' (Arabic : عبدالرحمن بن صخر الدوسي), or '''Abu Hurayra''', born between 601 and 604 and died between 676 and 679, is a celebrated sahabi, or companion of the prophet Mohammed. It is estimated that he transmited 5,374 hadiths, more or less the equivalent of an entire Qu'ran by himself. He is cited in more more than half of the classic isnâds (chains of transmission) of the hadiths, making him the greatest know traditionalist (muhaddith). He is therefore responsible for transmitting more hadiths than any other companion of the prophet according to the tradition, even though according to this same tradition he spent less time around Muhammad and was less intimitely familiar with him than the other companions. In affect, according the majority of authors, he only knew Muhammad during the latter part of his life: at most he knew the prophet for 4 years before the latter's death. | '''<nowiki/>'Abd al-Rahman ibn Sakhr ad-Dawsi''' (Arabic : عبدالرحمن بن صخر الدوسي), or '''Abu Hurayra''', born between 601 and 604 and died between 676 and 679, is a celebrated sahabi, or companion of the prophet Mohammed.
