[edit] Overview
Muslim historians have kept detailed lists of people who interacted with Muslims during Muhammad's era, they are called the Sahaba. These lists usually consist of people who accomplished something notable in the view of Muslims, or who interacted with someone that did so. For example there is a list of every single Muslim who died during the first Muslim war for independence, the battle of Badr.
At the same time, they also kept a similarly detailed list of notable non-Muslim interactants with Muslims during Muhammad's era, both friend and enemies. This includes for example the notable people from the city of Mecca that went to war with Muslims, and also non-Muslims from other parts of the Arabian peninsula. It also includes non-Muslim non-Arabs, for example Romans that fought with Muslims or the Ethiopians who helped the Muslims that emigrated there.
Just as the Muslim casualties of the battle of Badr are accounted for, so are many prominent non-Muslims that died during that and other battles.
This is a list of notable non-Muslims that had contact with the Sahaba, arranged by country or place of origin.
