Documenting historical information through the companion Jarir bin Abdullah Al-Bajali (may God be pleased with him) Until the end of the Rashidun era
Abstract
Documenting historical information is not only a trust required by science, but above all is something that was required by Sharia, and we have presented through these pages the narrations of one of the noble Companions, whose conversion to Islam came late, to demonstrate the importance of his stories in achieving that scientific and Sharia purpose, which is documenting historical information. And it has appeared to us through what has been illustrated the role of his narratives in achieving this, and his narrations have evidenced much of what has been obscured from the narratives of historians and biographers, so that his narrations stopped us on the second reliable information. The illiteracy of the narrations of the great companion is evidenced by the fact that he participated in many of the events to which we were exposed, in which he was one of its components. His participation and sightings were the best reason to document what was told about him. The period of study extended from his conversion to Islam until his retirement from the strife that was in the caliphate of Ali between him and Muawiyah. Hence, the time frame for the study of his chronological narrations corresponds to the age of the state of al-Rashideen with a small part of what is left of the Prophets life as Jarir's conversion to Islam came late, and it was in the same year of his death as previously illustrated.
