A companion of the Prophet from the Banu Sulaym tribe, mentioned in the Ifk incident alongside Aisha and exonerated by Qur'anic verses; he served as the army's rearguard. He is reported to have been wounded and martyred during the conquest of Sumaysat (Samsat) and buried there; his death is dated to 19 AH (640 CE), though some reports place it in the Umayyad era. His tomb lies on a hill near Taşkuyu village in Samsat. [COMPANION SHRINE / disputed: TDV does not confirm the burial place.] (Sources: TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi 'Safvân b. Muattal'; Adıyaman Governorate / Samsat District records)
