Khalid bin Al-Walid

Tariq ibn Shihab al-Ahmasi was a Tabi'i narrator from Kufa who saw the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as a young child but did not narrate any hadith directly from him, making him technically a companion by sight (ru'yah) but not a transmitting companion (rawiyy). He narrated from major companions including Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, and Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, may Allah be pleased with them all. He participated in many of the early Islamic battles and military campaigns during the caliphate period. He was regarded as a reliable narrator by hadith critics including Yahya ibn Maʿin who said he was thiqah (trustworthy). He is known for transmitting narrations on the obligation of Friday prayer, the conditions for its validity, and various aspects of Islamic worship. He died approximately around 82–83 AH. His narrations appear in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and the four Sunan collections, and are particularly cited in chapters on Friday prayer and Islamic governance.
