أبو سعيد الخدري
Abu Said al-Khudri
Prolific Narrator of Hadith and Scholar of Madinah
Отношения с Пророком ﷺ
Abu Said was young during the Prophet's ﷺ lifetime but was fully formed as a companion by the time he participated actively in the campaigns. He had the privilege of direct learning from the Prophet ﷺ in both formal settings and informal gatherings, and the Prophet ﷺ valued the Ansar deeply. Some of Abu Said's most treasured memories involved the Prophet ﷺ sitting with the companions and teaching them about the unseen (ghayb), Paradise, Hell, and the conditions of the heart. Abu Said transmitted these teachings with extraordinary precision, making him one of the most relied-upon sources for eschatological knowledge in classical Islamic scholarship.

Полная биография
Abu Said al-Khudri, whose full name was Sa'd ibn Malik ibn Sinan al-Ansari al-Khazraji, was one of the most prolific narrators of hadith among the Ansar, transmitting over 1,170 hadiths preserved in the canonical collections. He was born in Madinah and participated in the major battles of Islam from the Battle of Uhud onward.
He first wished to participate at the Battle of Badr but was considered too young at approximately thirteen years of age. From Uhud onward, however, he participated in all the major campaigns including the Trench, Khaybar, Hunayn, and the Conquest of Mecca. His father was among those martyred at Uhud.
Abu Said became one of the leading scholars of Madinah after the Prophet's ﷺ passing, known for his precise memory and rigorous standards in transmitting hadith. He was known for his fearless advocacy of justice — when governors or rulers deviated from Islamic principles, he would speak out clearly regardless of personal risk.
He is the narrator of some of the most important hadiths in Islamic jurisprudence, including the famous hadith about preventing evil with the hand, tongue, or heart (Muslim 49), and many hadiths about prayer, zakah, hajj, and the signs of the Day of Judgment. He lived until approximately 74 AH and died in Madinah.
Известные изречения
Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.
We used to ask the Prophet ﷺ more about the afterlife than about this world.
Guard your prayer times as you guard the most precious thing you own.
