The passing of Sayyiduna Hadrat Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ in al-Rabadha, near Madinah. He was one of the earliest converts to Islam (some say the fourth or fifth) and was known for his extreme asceticism and outspoken advocacy for the rights of the poor. The Prophet said about him: 'There is no one under the sky and over the earth who is more truthful than Abu Dharr.' He died in poverty with only his wife present.

The passing of Sayyiduna Hadrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ in Madinah. He was one of the earliest converts to Islam and one of the greatest Quran reciters among the Companions. The Prophet said: 'Learn the Quran from four people: Hadrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ, Salim, Mu'adh, and Ubayy ibn Ka'b.' He was the keeper of the Prophet ﷺ's sandals and walking staff, earning him the title 'Sahib al-Ni'layn.'

The passing of Imam Abu Ja'far Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Tahawi in Cairo. He was one of the greatest Hanafi jurists and hadith scholars. His Al-Aqidah al-Tahawiyyah is the most widely accepted statement of Sunni creed, studied in Islamic institutions worldwide. He also authored Sharh Ma'ani al-Athar and Mushkil al-Athar, important works reconciling seemingly contradictory hadiths.
