'Abdullah bin Abi Qatada

Abdullah ibn Mughaffal al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) was a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from the Muzayna tribe and one of the distinguished members of the Ahl al-Suffa — the poor Companions who lived near the mosque of Medina, dedicating themselves entirely to learning the religion and serving the Prophet ﷺ. He was among those present at the Treaty of al-Hudaybiyyah and participated in the Conquest of Mecca. On the day of the conquest, he is known to have been holding the curtain of the Ka'ba when the Prophet ﷺ entered it, a detail preserved in narrations describing the opening of Mecca. He narrated approximately eighty hadiths on topics including prayer, purification, the recitation of Bismillah before meals, and the prohibition of urinating in standing water. He is particularly known for narrations on Islamic etiquette surrounding food and domestic conduct. He settled in Basra after the Prophet's death and became one of the important Companion authorities there. He died around 57–60 AH. His narrations are preserved in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and the Sunan collections.
