Question:
This is a question from one of the brothers. He asks: Who are the Ahl al-Suffah? And why were they given this name?
Answer:
The Ahl al-Suffah are those who came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek knowledge, and they had no homes in Madinah and no families. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) designated a place for them in the mosque, called the Suffah, where they would gather. They lived on the charity provided to them by their Muslim brothers and the people of the town. These are the Ahl al-Suffah. Yes.
