Anas ibn Malik

Life

His mother Umm Sulaym brought him to the Prophet ﷺ as a boy to serve him, and asked him to pray for her son; he asked Allah to increase his wealth and his children and bless him in what He gave him (al-Bukhari 6334).

Al-Dhahabi calls him the imam, mufti and narrator of Islam, who reported a great deal of knowledge from the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions, and among the last of the Companions to die. He reports that he died in 91 AH, by most accounts, or 92.
