Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri

Sa'id ibn Malik Sinan al-Khazraji al-Khudri (Arabic: سعد بن مالك بن سنان الخزرجي الخدري‎) (kunya: Abu Sa'id) was an Ansari from the original inhabitants of Medina and one of the younger companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Too young to fight at the Battle of Uhud in 625 where his father Malik ibn Sinan fell, he participated in subsequent campaigns. Although he traveled to Syria once to visit the Umayyad caliph Mu'awiyah, he otherwise resided in Medina all his life. Later, he is said to have participated with his fellow Medinans in the defense of their city against the Umayyad army at the Battle of al-Harrah in 64/683. He is said variously to have died in 63/682, 64/683, 65/684, or 74/693.[1] Abu Sa'id is one of the narrators of hadith most frequently quoted. By one count, he has 1170 narrations, making him the seventh most prolific Companion in the transmission of the hadith.[2]

Shi'i Muslims do not automatically dismiss his narrations but compare what he narrates with other sources.
