Ibn Abu Mulaika

Abdullah ibn Abi Aufa al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), also referred to as Ibn Abi Aufa, was a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from the Aslam tribe. He was present at the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and gave his pledge of allegiance under the tree (bay'at al-ridwan), a distinction of great honor. He participated in numerous battles including Khaybar and the Conquest of Mecca. He settled in Kufa and became the last surviving Companion in that city, living to a very advanced age which made him an invaluable direct link to the prophetic era for the scholars of Iraq. His narrations include hadiths on prayer, charitable giving, and the conduct of the Prophet ﷺ in military campaigns. He is particularly known for narrations about the takbir (the opening call) in the prayer for the deceased and the rules of voluntary charity. He passed away around 86–87 AH in Kufa. His narrations are found in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and the major Sunan collections.
