List of Sahaba

The Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (s), or Ṣaḥāba (Arabic: الصحابة), are the title of those Muslims who met the Prophet (s) and believed in him until their demise. The number of Sahaba is counted more than a hundred-thousand individuals. The majority of Sunni scholars believe that all the prophet's companions were just and righteous individuals (ʿĀdil), and hence, any mistakes they made or crimes they committed were because of an error in their individual ijtihad. According to Shi'as, the Sahaba were no different to the rest of the Muslims in this regard, and the veracity or justice of each companions would need to be established separately.

In the view of Shi'as, the best of the Prophet's (s) companions were Imam 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a) and his two sons, Imam al-Hasan (a) and Imam al-Husayn (a).
