Companions of Muhammad and People in Early Islamic Sources (Ṣaḥābah and Kafir)

 This will form a database of early Muslims, organized by clan, wherever possible.  Genealogical conventions are followed.

One of the complexities of early Islamic material is the importance of clans and tribes to Arabs and their neighbors.  Much of the political context is lost when these relationships aren’t considered.

Symbols:

• ? = Polytheist who died before Islam
• ? = Muslim
• ? = Polytheist who died after Islam
• ?/? = Early opponent of Islam who converted
• ✡️ = Jew
• ✝️ = Christian
• ? = Misc. Monotheist/Other
