Who was the disciple of Hazrat Abu Huraira who assisted him in compiling Ahadith?

Explanation

Hammam Ibn Munabbah was a prominent Tabi'i and one of the earliest compilers of Hadith. He was a close student of Hazrat Abu Huraira (R.A) and recorded his narrations in writing, producing the famous manuscript known as "Sahifah Hammam Ibn Munabbah," which is considered one of the oldest surviving Hadith collections and was later incorporated into larger works like Sahih Bukhari and Musnad Ahmad.

Good to know

Hammam Ibn Munabbah (d. 101 AH) was of Yemeni origin and belonged to the generation of Tabi'in. His written collection, Sahifah Hammam, contains approximately 140 Ahadith narrated directly from Hazrat Abu Huraira (R.A), who himself narrated the largest number of Ahadith among the companions with over 5,300 narrations. This manuscript is historically significant as evidence that Hadith were being written and compiled during the time of the Sahaba, contrary to some misconceptions.
