'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA)

Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf was a leading Tabi'i scholar from Medina, counted among the Seven Jurists of Medina — a group of Tabi'i scholars whose scholarly opinions were foundational in shaping early Islamic jurisprudence in the Hejaz. He was the son of the companion Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, one of the ten companions given glad tidings of Paradise. He narrated extensively from Aisha, Abu Hurairah, Umm Salama, and other companions. He was a particularly important transmitter of hadiths from Abu Hurairah and Aisha and is one of the primary links through whom their narrations reached the next generation. Imam al-Zuhri narrated from him frequently, placing him high in the chains of many key hadiths. He was recognized for his broad knowledge, reliability, and his role in the Medinan scholarly tradition. His narrations appear in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and all four Sunan collections, covering prayer, fasting, purification, and nearly every major chapter of Islamic jurisprudence. He died around 94–104 AH.
