Abdullah ibn Amr (ra): The One Who Preserved The Sunnah
About this episode
This episode discusses Abdullah ibn Amr's dedication to preserving the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ and his significant role in Islamic history.
He embraced Islam later in the Prophet ﷺ’s life, but strove to catch up in seeking and serving knowledge, sometimes almost going to extremes in that pursuit. Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As (ra) became among the first to gain permission to record the Prophet ﷺ’s teachings in writing. And ultimately, this great preserver of the Prophet ﷺ’s words may have found his resting place in Gaza.
