Born around 603 to the Banu Daws clan in al-Jabur, Arabia, he converted to Islam around 629 following the Battle of Khaybar and migrated to Medina, joining the Suffah. Muhammad sent him as a muezzin to Bahrain, and under Caliph Umar he briefly governed the region. His prodigious memory captured more than 5,000 hadiths, which spawned over 500,000 narrator chains and became foundational to the four major Sunni schools of jurisprudence. Shia scholars and others have questioned his reliability, but for Sunni tradition he remains the model hadith narrator. He died around 679, his recall having shaped Islamic law for thirteen centuries.
