The Seven Jurists are seven of the jurists of Medina during the era of the Tabi'in (successors), who were contemporaries. Most scholars agreed on six of them: Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr al-Siddiq, 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utbah ibn Mas'ud, Kharijah ibn Zayd ibn Thabit, and Sulayman ibn Yasar. As for the seventh, there are three differing opinions: Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf (which is the most common view), or Salim ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, or Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham al-Makhzumi.
