Hadith narrator

Wabisa ibn Ma'bad al-Asadi (Arabic: وابصة بن معبد الأسدي) was one of the Sahaba who lived between the 7th to 8th centuries. He was a narrator of Hadith as well as an ascetic.

Biography

Wabisa ibn Ma'bad al-Asadi belonged to the tribe of Banu Asad. He converted to Islam between the years 630–631. Wabisa originally settled in Kufa but later moved to Raqqa where he spent the rest of his life and died there in the year 707.

In terms of personality, Wabisa was an ascetic who preferred sitting with the poor.

Hadith he narrated

Wabisa narrated that Muhammad said:

Consult your soul, consult your heart, oh Wabisa. Righteousness is what is satisfying to your soul and your heart. Sin is what wavers in your soul and causes hesitancy in your chest, even if the people give you a judgment, and again give you a judgment.

Tomb

Wabisa died in 707, and was buried in Raqqa, at the site of the Great Mosque of Raqqa. A domed mausoleum was constructed over his purported grave in 1836 during the Ottoman period, but it was ultimately bulldozed and completely razed away in 2014 by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Recent research disputed the attribution of this domed mausoleum to Wabisa, and instead concluded that it was the tomb of Sa'deddin Pasha al-Azm, the Ottoman governor of Raqqa who had died of a plague and was buried in the courtyard of the ruined mosque. The real grave of Wabisa is believed to be located underneath a modern madrasa in the Mishlab neighbourhood of Raqqa.
