Jaban al-Kurdi

Abū Maymūn Jābān al-Kurdī (Arabic: أبو ميمون جابان الكردي, Kurdish: Cabanê Kurdî, Sorani Kurdish: جابانی کوردی or کابانی کوردی, romanized: Cabanî Kurdî or Kabanî Kurdî), also referred to as Jaban Sahabi (Arabic: جابان صَحَابِيٌّ, romanized: Jābān Ṣaḥābiyy, lit. 'Jaban the Companion'), was a reputed companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Jābān was of Kurdish ethnicity.

Not much is known about his life. The early Islamic scholar Abu Nu'aym al-Isfahani mentions Jaban in Ma`rifat al-Sahâba wa Fadâ'ilihim. Jābān's status as a companion is also mentioned twice in Ibn al-Athir's book Usd al-ghabah fi marifat al-Saḥabah. He was also known to have narrated 10 prophetic ahadith, according to Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in the book Al-Isabah fi tamyiz al Sahabah. The book Takmilah al-Ikmal by Ibn Nuqtah also mentions him.
