The Ashab al-Suffah (People of the Bench) were the poor among the Muhajirun (Emigrants) who had no shelter, so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, housed them in the mosque. They numbered about seventy men, some of whom were among the great Companions in piety and reliance on Allah, and among them was Abu Hurayrah. They wore what covered their 'awrah (private parts) and lived on charity. Al-Bukhari mentioned their sleeping in the mosque. As for "Ashab al-Rawdah" (People of the Garden), there is no mention of them in the books of Sunnah.
