Al-‘Uthaymīn interpreted a hadith by al-Bukhārī as claiming that none of these people would die after 732 CE. “Consensus” or ’ijmā‘ examples of these people are so named for their relation to people like Imams Bāqir and Riḍā, and have their hadiths accepted by Shī‘a scholars. (10[1])Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī clarified that the blind would be accepted into his broad definition for these people. These people were followed by a group called the tābi‘ūn. (10[1])The only one of these people (10[1])mentioned by name (-5[1])in the Quran in the Sūrah Al-Aḥzāb is Zayd (-5[1])ibn Ḥāritha. An honorific for these people, raḍiya (-5[1])-llāhu ‘anhu (“RAH-dee-yuh LAH-hoo AN-hoo”), originated from the 100th verse of the Sūrah (10[1])At-Tawbah, which claims these people, such as the (10[1])Muhājir and Anṣār, (-5[1])are rewarded with gardens. For 10 (-5[1])points, give this (-5[1])umbrella term for people who followed (10[1]-5[1])Muhammad during his (10[1]-5[1])life. (10[7]0[14])■END■
