Hazrat Abu Huraira (R.A), whose real name was Abdur Rahman ibn Sakhr, accepted Islam in the 7th year of Hijrah. He came to the Prophet (PBUH) at Khaybar and embraced Islam there. Despite accepting Islam relatively late, he became the most prolific narrator of Hadith, transmitting over 5,374 traditions. His dedication to learning and preserving the sayings of the Prophet (PBUH) earned him the title of the greatest Hadith narrator among the Sahaba.
Hazrat Abu Huraira (R.A) was given the kunyah "Abu Huraira" (Father of the Kitten) by the Prophet (PBUH) because of his fondness for a small cat he used to carry. He spent nearly three years in the constant company of the Prophet (PBUH) after his conversion. His exceptional memory and devotion to recording Hadith made him invaluable to Islamic scholarship, and he was appointed as the governor of Bahrain during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (R.A).
