In the Islamic religion, the Sahaba (or Asahaaba,الصحابه; both forms are plural--the singular is Sahaabi, which is Arabic for "friend", or "companion") are the companions of the Prophet Muhammad. A Sahabi knew or saw the Prophet, believed in his teachings, and died as a Muslim. At the time of the death of Muhammad, there were over 100,000 companions, tens of thousands of which have their names and biographies of various lengths recorded in readily available religious reference texts of the subject, ilmul-rijal, literally, "knowledge of men."
Sunnis claim that all Sahaba were truthfull and reliable. This can be ilustrated in that when Sunnis are evaluating the string of narations in one hadith, if there is a missing link in the chain of narrators, but they know that its a Sahabi, then according to "all the sahaba are truthfull" principle, the whole chain is authenticated, providing that the rest of the narators are reliable as well.
Shias do not have that rule and have different views on each Sahabi.

Muhammed is reported to leave two eighty things after him in the famous hadith of thaqlain,the Quran and his Ahl ul-Bayt.
