Biography
Tomb of Anas Bin Malik at Basra Iraq

Anas ibn Malik, a member of the Najjar clan of the Khazraj tribe of Yathrib, was born ten years before the Prophet Hijrah. After his father, Malik ibn Nadr, died a non-Muslim, his mother, Umm Sulaim, remarried to a new convert, Abu Talha ibn Thabit. Anas's half-brother from this marriage was Abdullah ibn Abi Talha.[2]

When the prophet arrived in Medina in 622, Anas's mother presented him to the prophet as a servant to him.[1]

After the prophet's death in 632, Anas participated in the wars of conquest.[1]

He was the last of the prominent Companions of the Prophet to die. Anas died in 93 AH (712 CE)[3] in Basra[4] at the age of 103 (lunar) years.[4]
