He embraced Islam and came to Madinah in Year 7 after the Hijrah (7 AH), and he kept close companionship with the Prophet ﷺ. He was one of the Companions who narrated the most hadith, until his name became linked to preserving the Sunnah and conveying it. He was known for asceticism and worship, for a strong memory, and for being keen to attend the gatherings of the Prophet ﷺ. For that reason, the Muslims benefited greatly from his narration.
