Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (Arabic: حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ, romanized: Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān; died 656) was a prominent companion (Sahabah) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a central military and political figure in the early Rashidun Caliphate. He is widely celebrated in Islamic tradition as the "Keeper of the Secret" (Sahib al-Sirr), a title earned after Muhammad entrusted him with the identities of the hypocrites (Munafiq) in Medina.
