Regarding the biographies of the Companions of the Prophet , Imams Muhadditheen and Raheel Ilam have authored many books, Al-Asaba and Asad al-Ghabah etc. in Arabic language are worth mentioning. Similarly, there are many books in Urdu. Some of them are the blessed Jalil-ul-Qadr Companions to whom the Prophet ﷺ gave the good news of Paradise in the world. In a tradition of Jami Tirmidhi and Sunan Ibn Majah, there are the names of ten Companions.
