Who is who amongst the Sahabah?

[Khalid Saifullah]

Narrated: Anas bin Malik(Radi Allahu Anhu)

that the Messenger of Allah Muhammad(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

“The most merciful of my Ummah towards my Ummah is Abu Bakr;

the one who adheres most sternly to the religion of Allah is Umar;

the most sincere of them in shyness and modesty is Uthman;

the best judge is Ali bin Abu Talib;

the best in reciting the Book of Allah is Ubayy bin Kab;

the most knowledgeable of what is lawful and what is unlawful is Muadh bin Jabal;

and the most knowledgeable of the rules of inheritance (Faraid) is Zaid bin Thabit.

And every nation has a trustworthy guardian, and the trustworthy guardian of this Ummah is Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah.”
