Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri (612–693)
Born 612 CE, died 693 CE.
Abū Saʿīd Saʿd ibn Mālik ibn Sinān al-Khazrajī al-Khudrī (Arabic: أبو سعيد سعد بن مالك بن سنان الخزرجي الخدري) was an early ally (Ansari) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and one of the younger companions of the prophet, as well as being a supporter of Hadith prohibition. Too young to fight at the Battle of Uhud in 625 where his father Malik ibn Sinan fell, he participated in subsequent campaigns. Although he traveled to Syria once to visit the Umayyad caliph Mu'awiya, he resided in Medina all his life. Later, he is said to have participated with his fellow Medinans in the defense of their city against the Umayyad army at the Battle of al-Harrah in 64/683.
