Answer:
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
There
were several people at the time of the Prophet (saws) whose first name was Safwan. If you could
kindly give us the full name of the Companion, it would be our honor to send
you some information about the Noble Companion as stated in the Books of Muslim
History. Here is a list of some of the
people whose first name was Safwan at the time of the
Holy Prophet (saws):
Safwan
bin Ummayyah
Safwan
bin Al-Muattal
Safwan
bin Abdullah
Safwan bin Yala
bin Umaiya
Safwan ibn
Muhammad
Safwan bin Salim
Safwan ibn
Assal
Safwan ibn
Sulaym
Safwan ibn
Muhriz
Safwan bin Muhriz
Al Mazini
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan
