We do not have detailed knowledge of the names of the Companions of the Prophets, and one should not preoccupy themselves with that. Among the reliable books that discuss the stories of the Quran and the lives of the Prophets are the interpretations (tafasir) of Al-Tabari, Al-Baghawi, Ibn Kathir, and Al-Sa'di, as well as historical books like Al-Bidayah wa Al-Nihayah by Ibn Kathir.
