Talha b. 'Ubayd Allah: Difference between revisions

==His place for Sunni Muslims==

Talha is highly venerated by Sunni Muslims. They consider him as one of "'Ashara Mubashshara" (ten people to whom the Prophet (s) gave the good news of going to the Heaven). They also characterize him as "Talha al-Khayr" (Talha, the good), "Talha Fayyad" (Talha, the beneficent) and one of the 20 [[Sahaba]] who could issue [[fatwa]]s (after the 7 great issuers of fatwas among the Sahaba). He is also a prominent narrator of [[hadiths]] from the Prophet (s) from whom people such as his sons (Yahya and Musa), [[Qays b. Abu Hazim]], [[Abu Silma b. 'Abd al-Rahman]] and [[Malik b. Abu 'Amir]] narrated hadiths. Sunni Muslims take Talha to be among the Twelve Disciples of the Prophet (s) along with [[Hamza b. 'Abd al-Muttalib]], [[Ja'far b. Abi Talib]], [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]], [[Abu Bakr]], [['Umar b. Khattab]], [[Abu 'Ubayda Jarrah]], [['Uthman b. 'Affan]], [['Uthman b. Maz'un]], [['Abd al-Rahman b. 'Uf]], [[Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas]], and [[Zubayr b. 'Awam]].
