Anas ibn Malik
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anas bin Malik' ibn Nadar al-Khazraji (c.612-712[citation needed], or died 709 [1]) was a well-known sahabi (companion) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was an Ansar of the Banu Khazraj[citation needed].

He was born to Umm Sulayem (of the Banu Najjar) and Malik ibn Nadr. After the father of Anas died a non-Muslim, his mother remaried a new convert (Abu Talha), and he gained a half-brother, Abdullah ibn Abu Talha. [2].
He had been presented to Muhammad by his mother at an early age [1].
After the Prophet Muhammad's death, he went to Damascus and later settled in Basrah[citation needed].
After the Prophet Muhammad's death in 632 he participated in the wars of conquest. [1]
He was the longest living companion of Muhammad[citation needed].
On February 25, 2006, his tomb west of Basrah was attacked and vandalized[citation needed].
Certain sects, like the R!enaang sect of Indonesian Islam, hold that Anas bin Malik was the true originator of Islam. However, this interpretation is disputed by most Muslims and is widely considered an abomination and a heresy[citation needed].
One hundred and sixty eight ahadith narrated on his authority are to be found in the collections of Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.[1]
He is one of the major narrators of Hadith, and like all of the Sahabah, he is trustworthy.
The Shi'a have a loathing for him, the same way they loath most of the companions.
