Khaled bin Sinan

Khaled bin Sinan al-`Abasi was (according to Islam) a revered figure of pre-Islamic Arabia who is thought to have lived sometime between the 1st and 7th century CE. Historical accounts narrate that he was one of a line of prophets sent to the Arab peoples, beginning with Ismā'īl and ending with Muhammad.

He should not be confused with the companion of Muhammad of the same name, "Khalid ibn Sinan al-Awsi", who fought in the Battle of Badr.

The name "Khaled" also appears in the supplication of Ummi Dawud by Ja'far al-Sadiq, the 6th Imam of Shia Islam, among a list of persons with whom the supplicant asks (God) to be blessed; most of whom appear in the Qur`an as prophets. It is believed that this is in reference to Khaled bin Sinan.

Note: These are prophets mentioned in Stories of the Prophets, Quranic commentary and exegesis, the Hadith and other Islamic literature; none are mentioned by name in the Quran. Muslims, however, believe that 124,000 prophets were sent to mankind, with twenty-five named in the Quran and the figures above identified in exegesis. Italics denote that the figure's status as a prophet is not accepted by all Muslims.
