88 - Mutual sympathy between Muslims

Al-Nu‘mān ibn Bashīr ibn Sa‘d ibn Tha‘labah of the Anṣār was a companion of the Prophet, as was his father. Scholars are in agreement that he was one of the young companions of the Prophet. His son Muhammad and ‘Āmir al-Sha‘bī transmitted his hadiths. He became a scholar and a governor. Mu‘āwiyah appointed him Governor of Kufah for a period of time. He was subsequently appointed as Judge of Damascus, succeeding Faḍālah. He then became Governor of Homs in Syria. He narrated a small number of hadiths, but his hadiths are related in all six authentic hadith anthologies. He died in Year 64 AH 684 CE.
