ʿAbbād ibn Bishr (Arabic: عباد بن بشر) (c.597–632) was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[2] After the Hijrah of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca, 'Abbad and his clansmen were given the name of Ansar for their assistance in giving shelter to the Muslims who came to their town. His Kunya or Teknonymy were Abu al-Rabi'.
