 * Keep - I need to hear from an Islamic scholar before !voting delete. This guy was one of 8 slaves freed by Abu Bakr, the man who wrote the Quran. These 8 slaves inspired several verses of the Quran. - Richard Cavell (talk) 14:23, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Would also like to hear from someone more knowledgeable, but perhaps it would be better to have an article under 'Eight slaves freed by Abu Bakr' or similar. --Sainge.spin (talk) 05:33, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep see the article on Sahaba for the significance of being one of Mohammed's companions. It is through their  reports of the Prophet's sayings  that the traditional legal structure of Islam was derived. There is probably a good deal more to be said, but I confess my own lack of the basic knowledge to find it.    DGG ( talk ) 03:23, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes also see the very long List of Sahaba where only the most prominant of these 'companions' are mentioned which does not include Abu Fuhayra. Polargeo (talk) 12:57, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge to Abu Bakr as the redirect Slaves freed by Abu Bakr shows this is one of many. No point in separate articles with next to no information possible and no chance of expansion. Polargeo (talk) 12:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
