ʿAbbād ibn Bishr (Arabic: عباد بن بشر) (c. 597–632) was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. After the Hijrah of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca, 'Abbād and his clansmen were given the name al-Ansar for their assistance in providing shelter to the Muslims who came to their town. His Kunya (or teknonym) was Abu al-Rabi'.
