Abu Mahdhura: Difference between revisions

There is a disagreement on the issue of his exact names and the name of his father. Different records of historians and biographers make the ultimate conclusion over their exact names difficult. Some accounts present him as "Samura" or with some other names; Even in some sources, "Aws" or "Anis" has been reported as the brother of Abu Mahdhura, and that he was one of pagans killed in the [[Battle of Badr]]; according to [[Ibn 'Abbas]], this person was among those who were referred to as al-muqtasimin (those who make division) in [[Qur'an 15]]:90 {{enote|{{ia|كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى المُقْتَسِمِينَ}}: such as we send down for those who make division. (Qur'an 15:90)}}. However regarding the name of his father, it is mainly a matter of poor dictation.
