Muʿādh ibn Jabal (Arabic: مُعاذ بن جبل; 603 – 639) was a sahabi (companion) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[3][4] Muadh was an Ansar of the Banu Khazraj tribe and compiled the Quran with five companions while Muhammad was still alive.[3] He acquired a reputation for knowledge.[5][6] Muhammad called him "the one who will lead the scholars into Paradise".[7][3]
Muhammad himself praised the knowledge of Mu'adh. It was narrated from 'Anas ibn Malik (أنس بن مالك) that the Messenger of Allah said: 'The most knowledgeable of what is lawful [halāl] and unlawful [harām] is Mu'adh ibn Jalal.'
