Vollständige Biografie
Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'i was a companion who participated in many of the Prophet's campaigns and is particularly known for a remarkable prophetic hadith in which the Prophet said that Awf's tribe would be among the first to cross the bridge of Sirat on the Day of Judgement. He was one of the more prolific narrators among the Ansari-aligned companions and served in military campaigns across the Arabian Peninsula.
He participated in the Battle of Mu'ta in 8 AH, one of the first major battles fought outside Arabia. He later settled in Damascus and became one of the key companions there. He was known for his direct, honest personality and his close relationship with the prophetic household. He narrated hadiths on jihad, prayer, and the signs of the Last Day. He passed away in Damascus around 73 AH, having served Islam through both sword and transmission of knowledge.
