النعمان بن بشير
Nu'man ibn Bashir
The First Ansar Child Born After Hijra
Uhusiano na Mtume ﷺ
Nu'man's relationship with the Prophet began at birth when the Prophet held him, supplicated for him, and named him. Though he was a child during the Prophet's lifetime, his early immersion in the prophetic environment shaped his character and scholarship. He transmitted prophetic traditions that became foundational in Islamic jurisprudence.

Wasifu Kamili
Nu'man ibn Bashir al-Ansari holds the distinction of being the first child born to the Ansar after the Prophet's migration to Medina, which made his birth a celebrated event. His father Bashir ibn Sa'd was a prominent Ansari companion, and the Prophet himself was present and supplicated for the newborn. Nu'man grew up in the Prophet's household environment and received the prophetic blessing directly as an infant.
He became a companion, hadith narrator, poet, and statesman. He served as governor of Kufa and later Homs under the Umayyad caliphate, and was known for his eloquence and poetic talent. He narrated numerous important hadiths including the famous 'halal is clear and haram is clear' tradition. He was killed in 65 AH during the political upheavals following the death of Yazid ibn Muawiya.
Maneno Maarufu
"Halal is clear and haram is clear, and between them are doubtful matters..." (hadith he narrated from the Prophet)
