Thabit ibn al-Dahhak al-Ashhali

Thabit ibn al-Dahhak ibn Khalifa ibn Tha'laba ibn Adi ibn Ka'b ibn Abd al-Ashhal, al-Ansari al-Ashhali, a Companion who witnessed the Pledge of Ridwan under the tree at al-Hudaybiyya, as established in Sahih Muslim on the transmission of Abu Qilaba from him ¹.

Ibn Hajar gives his full nasab in al-Isaba back to Abd al-Ashhal ibn Jusham and records that he witnessed the Pledge of Ridwan, citing what is established in Sahih Muslim through Abu Qilaba, whom Thabit himself told of it ¹. In Taqrib al-Tahdhib Ibn Hajar writes: "Thabit ibn al-Dahhak ibn Khalifa al-Ashhali: a Companion" ².

Thabit ibn al-Dahhak was an Ansari Companion of Banu Abd al-Ashhal who was among those who pledged allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ under the tree at al-Hudaybiyya.

• Ibn Hajar distinguishes him from Thabit ibn al-Dahhak ibn Umayya ibn Tha'laba (no. 900) and Thabit ibn al-Dahhak ibn Tha'laba (no. 901); al-Isaba itself notes the error of dropping "Khalifa" from his nasab.
