[[32]]/653) known as '''Abū Dharr al-Ghifārī''' ({{iarabic|أبوذر الغفاري}}) was one of the greatest [[sahaba|companions]] of [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] [[Imam Ali (a)]]; as well as one of the [[four pillars of the Shiite]]. He was a sincere companion of Prophet Muhammad (s) and [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]. Numerous narrations by both the [[Sunni]] and [[Shi'a]] have sung his praises. Scholars of [[rijal]] have considered him as one of the four pillars [of the Shiite]. Abu Dhar criticized the actions of [[Uthman]], the third Caliph. As a result, he was exiled to [[Syria]] and then to [[al-Rabatha]], where he passed away. | ||
