Abu Juhaifa Wahb ibn Abdullah al-Suwa'i (RA) was a companion of the Prophet ﷺ who was young enough that he was known as a junior companion. Despite his young age he is particularly celebrated for a narration preserved in Bukhari that gives a detailed description of the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ physical appearance — his face likened to the sun or moon in beauty, his hair, his complexion, and his garments. This narration is one of the most cited descriptions of the Prophet's appearance in the hadith literature. He narrated approximately 46 hadiths. He also transmitted the famous hadith in which Ibn Masud is described as the person most similar to the Prophet in conduct. He settled in Kufa after the Prophet's death and became a reliable transmitter for the Tabi'in there. He passed away around 74 AH.
