Not to be confused with Jundab b. Ka'b al-Azdi.

Jundab b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Bajalī (Arabic: جُندَب‌ بْنِ عَبْدُاللّٰهِ البَجَلي) was a prominent member of the companions of the Prophet (s) and a loyal supporter of Imam Ali (a).[1] His full name is recorded as Jundab b. 'Abd Allah b. Sufyan al-Bajali al-'Alaqi or al-Ghalabi,[2] also known as al-'Abqari[3] or al-Azdi.[4] He was famously referred to as Jundab al-Khayr, Jundab al-Faruq, and Jundab b. Umm Jundab.

In certain biographical accounts, Jundab b. 'Abd Allah is identified by his grandfather's lineage.[5] Scholarly disagreement exists regarding whether Jundab al-Khayr is identical to Jundab b. 'Abd Allah al-Azdi or al-Bajali.[6] While Ibn al-Kalbi maintains that Jundab al-Khayr is a distinct individual.[7] Al-Shaykh al-Tusi and al-Khoei assert that Jundab al-Khayr is the same person as Jundab b. 'Abd Allah al-Bajali.[8]

Historians report that during the lifetime of the Prophet (s), Jundab b. 'Abd Allah was dedicated to teaching the Quran and the tenets of Islam to new Muslims.[9] Following the demise of the Prophet (s), he addressed inquiries concerning the allegiance of Imam 'Ali (a) and the political developments of that era.[10] Furthermore, after the appointment of 'Uthman to the caliphate by the Six-Member Council, Jundab visited Imam Ali (a) to express his concern. The Imam responded by counseling "beautiful patience" (ṣabr jamīl) and offered further guidance.[11]

During the Battle of Nahrawan, Jundab b. 'Abd Allah initially harbored doubts regarding the conflict with the Khawarij. However, after witnessing the fulfillment of Imam 'Ali's (a) prophecy that the Khawarij would not cross the canal, his conviction was restored. He remained in the army of Imam 'Ali (a) and sustained injuries during the battle.[12]

Following the martyrdom of Imam 'Ali (a), Jundab traveled to Kufa before eventually settling in Basra alongside Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr.[13] Jundab passed away in 60/680, approximately four years after the onset of the sedition (fitna) involving Ibn al-Zubayr.[14][15]

Jundab b. 'Abd Allah transmitted traditions[16] from the Prophet (s) and Imam 'Ali (a).[17] He is the narrator of the sermon Imam 'Ali (a) delivered upon receiving news of the martyrdom of Muhammad b. Abi Bakr.[18] Following the fatal strike against Imam 'Ali (a), Jundab visited him; while praying for the Imam's recovery, he inquired about the succeeding Imamate. He subsequently reported Imam 'Ali's (a) testamentary advice to the al-Hasanayn (a) and Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya.[19] Additionally, Jundab narrated reports concerning the Battle of Siffin[20] and the Imam's encouragement of the companions to engage in Jihad.[21]

Traditions transmitted by Jundab b. 'Abd Allah are recorded in authoritative Sunni hadith collections. Eighteen hadiths appear in Sahih al-Bukhari, three in Mishkat, and eighteen in Musnad Ahmad b. Hanbal.[22] Jundab's narrations were widely circulated among the scholars of Kufa and Basra.[23] Prominent narrators including al-Hasan al-Basri, Bakr b. 'Abd Allah, Yunus b. Jubayr al-Bahili, and Safwan b. Muhriz, as well as 'Abd al-Malik b. 'Umayr, al-Aswad b. Qays and Salama b. Kuhayl[24] from Kufa, and Shahr b. Hawshab from Syria have transmitted his reports.[25]

Biographical scholars have authenticated Abd Allah b. Mughira, Jundab's freed slave, as trustworthy.[26]
