"صحابه" (Sahaba) refers to the companions of the Prophet محمد (Muhammad) in Islam. They were individuals who lived during his time, believed in his message, and supported him in spreading الإسلام (Islam). The Sahaba played a crucial role in the early development of the Muslim community and are highly respected in Islamic tradition. The Sahaba include both men and women, with notable figures such as أبو بكر (Abu Bakr), عمر (Umar), and عائشة (Aisha). Their teachings and actions are recorded in various texts, including الحديث (Hadith), which are collections of sayings and practices of the Prophet. The Sahaba's contributions continue to influence Islamic thought and practice today.
