ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿUsaylah (1), Abū ʿAbd Allah al-Murādī, known as al-Ṣunābihī, a resident of Syria. He set out for Medina, but the Prophet ﷺ passed away five nights before he arrived (2). He used to sit with ʿAbd al-Malik on his throne (3), and he was counted among the learned and the righteous. He died in Damascus.
ʿUmar ibn Abī Salamah (4) al-Makhzūmī, al-Madani, the Prophet’s rabīb (stepson), was born in Abyssinia and was raised in the house of his mother, Umm Salamah. He transmitted ḥadith from the Prophet ﷺ and from a group of Companions—may Allah be pleased with her.
Safīnah (5), the freedman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, had been a slave of Umm Salamah. She set him free on the condition that he continue to serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. [He replied, “I shall never cease serving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as long as I live, even had you not emancipated me.”] He narrated ḥadith. He died in Medina. Safīnah was closely attached to the Household of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and was constantly in their company.
