Sahabah

(صحابه)
Grammar: plural; singular=sahabiThe sahabah (companions)(RA) are all the Muslims who ever met or saw the Prophet Muhammed (SAW). There were many hundreds of sahabah and they were all very different individuals, coming from all walks of life and varied from the least notable ignorant Bedouin to the most appreciated and respected of his devout followers.One of the great misconceptions amongst Muslims is that all the sahabah were good people, but in reality a good deal of them were initially enemies of Islam and the Prophet and many had previously killed Muslims. It is necessary to remember that the sahabah are only human and they still continued to commit sins and some were hypocrites of varying degrees.

Sahabah often have the words 'Radhiallah Anh' (May Allah be Pleased with Him) written after their names, and the acronym form is (RA). But this should not be mentioned after the names of any Sahabi willy-nilly because some of them do not deserve it.
