Notes for researchers
- The names of those killed at Mu'ta in this text are transmitted by Abu Nu'aym from Urwa and from Ibn Ishaq. We have not yet compared them with Ibn Ishaq's own text.
- Do not confuse this entry with "Suraqa ibn Malik al-Mudlaji", the companion of the Hijra, nor with "Suraqa ibn Umayr", mentioned on the same page.
