' father of a kitten ' ), was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and considered the most prolific hadith narrator . Born in al-Jabur, Arabia to the Banu Daws clan of the Zahran tribe, he was among the first people to accept Islam , and later became a member of the Suffah after the migration of Muhammad . Under Muhammad, Hurayra was sent as a muezzin to al-Ala al-Hadhrami in Bahrain . Under the reign of the Rashidun caliph Umar (r. 634-644), he briefly served as a governor of Bahrain. After being accused of corruption by Umar, he left the governorship and returned to Medina. Acknowledged by Sunni scholars for his notable photographic memory , he memorized massive numbers of over 5,000 hadiths, which later produced more than 500,000 narrator chains , making him an example followed by Sunni Hadith scholars today. The four major Sunni madhahib have all used hadith narrated by Hurayra in major jurisprudential decisions. However, non-Sunni scholars, including several Shia scholars, have regarded Hurayra as unreliable and telling lies.
