Rafi' ibn Khadij

Samurah ibn Jundab al-Fazari (may Allah be pleased with him) was a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from the Fazara tribe. Like al-Bara ibn Azib, he was initially considered too young to participate in battles during the early years of Islam but was eventually permitted after the Prophet ﷺ recognized his maturity. He participated in several expeditions and later served as a governor of Basra during the caliphate of Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan. He narrated approximately 128 hadiths. Among his most famous narrations is the detailed account of the Prophet's long dream in which the Prophet was shown scenes of various people undergoing the consequences of their deeds — including those who neglected the Quran and those who committed sins — a narration preserved in Sahih al-Bukhari. He also narrated important hadiths on prayer times, the eclipse prayer, and prophetic supplications. Some scholars noted caution regarding a small number of his narrations, but he is generally accepted as a reliable Companion narrator. He passed away around 58–60 AH.
