He is Muadh ibn Jabal ibn Amr ibn Aws al-Ansarī, the noble Imam, al-Khazrajī al-Madani, nicknamed Abu Abd al-Rahmān. His mother was Hind bint Sahal from Banu Rafaʿah. Muadh was a tall young man with a fair complexion and radiant face, handsome hair, kohl-lined eyes, and well-groomed eyebrows, beautiful and generous among the best of the youth of his people. It is said that he was one of the most handsome men. He had a son named Abd al-Rahmān, Umm Abd Allāh, and another son whose name is not mentioned. One of the Tābiʿīn said about him: “I entered the mosque of Homs and found a young man surrounded by people, his hair curly, and when he spoke, it was as if light and pearls were emanating from him. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ They said, ‘Muadh ibn Jabal.’” Al-Khūlānī, may Allah have mercy on him, said about him: “I came to the mosque of Damascus and found a circle of elderly companions of Muḥammad. If there was a young man among them with bright, shining, kohl-lined eyes, they referred to the young man whenever they disagreed on something. Someone of the sitting companions asked about him and was told, ‘He is Muadh ibn Jabal; may Allah be pleased with him.’”
Muadh ibn Jabal embraced
Muadh ibn Jabal was a young man growing up in Yathrib as the light of guidance and truth began to spread over the Arabian peninsula. He was a handsome and imposing character with black eyes and curly hair and immediately impressed whoever he met. He was already distinguished for the sharpness of his intelligence among young men of his own age.
The young Muadh became a Muslim at the hands of Musab ibn Umayr, the daiy (missionary) whom the Prophet had sent to Yathrib before the hijrah. Muadh was among the seventy-two Yathribites who journeyed to Makkah, one year before the hijrah, and met the Prophet at his house and later again in the valley of Mina, outside Makkah, at Aqabah. Here the famous second Aqabah Pledge was made at which the new Muslims of Yathrib, including some women, vowed to support and defend the Prophet at any cost. Muadh was among those who enthusiastically clasped the hands of the blessed Prophet then and pledged allegiance to him.
As soon as Muadh returned to Madinah from Makkah, he and a few others of his age formed a group to remove and destroy idols from the houses of the mushrikeen in Yathrib. One of the effects of this campaign was that a prominent man
The Life and Times of the Companion Muadh Ibn Jabal
Muadh was a young man living in Medina when the city was still known as Yathrib. He was introduced to Islam by Musab ibn Umayr, the man Prophet Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of God be upon him, sent to Yathrib well before the mass migration of the Muslims from Mecca to Yathrib. Musab was essentially Prophet Muhammad’s ambassador, and his mission was to teach a small group of believers who had pledged allegiance to Islam. However, the light of Islam was spreading rapidly in Yathrib, and among those newcomers to the fledgling nation was Muadh ibn Jabal, a young man with dark eyes and black curly hair.
When Muadh was around 17 years of age, he was among the seventy-two people from Yathrib who journeyed to Mecca to meet Prophet Muhammad. At this time, the second Aqabah pledge was made, and Muadh was one of the believers who clasped the hands of Prophet Muhammad pledging allegiance to him, vowing to support and defend him at any cost. When Muadh returned to Yathrib, he, with others around his own age, formed a group to remove and destroy many idols around the city. As a consequence of this, a prominent man in Yathrib,

The Most Learned of Halaal and Haraam
Among the seventy-man delegation of the Ansaar who took the oath of allegiance to the Prophet in the Second Allegiance of `Aqabah sat a young man witha bright face, graceful eyes, and a radiant smile.
When he was silent, he attracted attention with his profound peacefulness and devoutness. On the other hand, when he talked, he held his people spellbound. This young man was Mu'aadh lbn Jabal (May Allah be pleased with him). He belonged to the Ansaar, and he was among the foremost believers who gave thesecond oath of allegiance to the Prophet.

His uppermost quality was his knowledge of fiqh (jurisprudence) the practical aspect of Muhammad's message. He reached the apex in knowledge and fiqh, to the extent that made the Prophet (PBUH) say, "The most learned man of mynation in halaal and haraam is Mu'aadh Ibn Jabal."
