The Dikkat al-Aghawāt, commonly identified with the SuffahĪfter the hijrah (migration to Medina), Abu Hurairah became one of the inhabitants of the Suffah. It was said that he found a stray kitten, so he took it in his sleeve, which is the reason he was named Abu Hurairah (father of the kitten). Abu Hurairah accompanied Tufayl to Mecca to meet Muhammad who renamed him Abdurrahman.
Abu Hurairah was one of the first to accept Islam, unlike the majority of Tufayl's tribesmen who embraced Islam later. Tufayl had returned to his village after meeting Muhammad in Mecca and converting to Islam in its early years. Conversion to Islam and life in Medina Ību Hurairah embraced Islam through Tufayl ibn 'Amr, the chieftain of his tribe. Hadith narrations record Muhammad as having a favorable view of the Banu Daws, who viewed them on par with his tribe, the Quraysh, the Ansar of Medina, and Banu Thaqif.
Al-Qalqashandi reported the Zahran as a descendant of Khalid ibn Nasr, while Ibn Hazm reported Zahran was a descendant of Malik ibn Nasr, a Qahtanite. Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani traced the lineage of the Banu Daws to Azd, a Nabatean ancestor of the southern Arabs, through Zahran. According to Al-Dhahabi, Abu Hurairah hailed from the prominent Banu Daws clan of the Arab tribe of Zahran, and was born in the region of Al-Bahah. The most popular opinion, voiced by Al-Dhahabi and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, is that it was 'Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr ( عبد الرحمن بن صخر).
