Tam Biyografi
Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari al-Khazraji was born around 617 CE in Medina. He was the son of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Haram, one of the seventy leaders of the Ansar who pledged allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ at the Second Aqaba. His father was martyred at the Battle of Uhud, leaving Jabir — then a teenager — as the head of a family with six sisters to care for.
Jabir became one of the most devoted and prolific narrators of the Prophet's teachings, transmitting over 1,540 hadiths. These narrations cover virtually every aspect of Islamic life: prayer, fasting, marriage, commerce, warfare, and spiritual guidance. His hadith on the Prophet's Farewell Pilgrimage is one of the most comprehensive accounts of that event and is cited in nearly every jurisprudential discussion of Hajj.
The Prophet ﷺ showed great personal affection for Jabir. In a famous incident, the Prophet learned that Jabir had married a divorcée rather than a virgin in order to have someone mature who could care for his younger sisters. The Prophet ﷺ praised this selfless decision and even visited Jabir's home. There is also the celebrated "Year of Distress" story where Jabir slaughtered a goat for the Prophet and the meat miraculously fed the entire expedition of one thousand men.
Jabir continued teaching hadith in Medina into old age and was visited by major scholars from across the Muslim world who came specifically to hear from him. He died around 697 CE (78 AH) and is buried in Medina. His enormous corpus of narrations made him one of the seven most prolific hadith narrators in all of Islamic history.
