Aṣ-ṣaḥābah (Arabic: اَلصَّحَابَةُ, "The Companions") were the Muslim followers of the Islamic prophet Muhammad who saw or met him during his lifetime, believed in his message, and died as Muslims. The exact number of Muhammad’s companions is unknown due to their wide geographical dispersal and the absence of a comprehensive record during his lifetime. However, estimates suggest there were over 100,000 companions, with some sources such as Abu Zur'ah al-Razi and Al-Suyuti reporting approximately 124,000.

Among all the Sahabah, ten were uniquely and explicitly promised Paradise during their lifetimes in a single authentic hadith. These companions are: Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Talha ibn Ubayd Allah, Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, Sa`îd ibn Zayd, and Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah.
