Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

al-Munaydhir al-Ifrīqī was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. He is the only companion of the Prophet Muhammad to reach Andalusia in the year 92 AH. Afterwards, he returned to Tripoli, in modern-day Libya, where he remained until his death.
Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Hablī narrated a Hadith from him. Al-Bukharī says in his historical account that al-Munaydhir narrated in the Ifrīqiya region the Hadith: "Whoever says, 'I am satisfied with God as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace) as my prophet, then I am the leader to take him by the hand and admit him into Paradise."[1]
Al-Munaydhir was buried in the cemetery that bears his name, the Sidi Munaydhir Cemetery) in the center of the Libyan capital, Tripoli.[2]
Some historical sources indicate that al-Munaydhir was the only companion of the Prophet Muhammad who set foot on the land of Andalusia, as a member of the army of Mūsā ibn Nuṣayr, at the beginning of the Islamic conquest of Andalusia, in the year 92 AH / 711 CE.[1]
This is considered historically significant, because — when coupled with the history of the companion Sa'd ibn Abī Waqqās visiting Chinese Emperor Gaozong of Tang in the year 651 CE [3] — it means that companions of the Prophet Muhammad reach as far east as modern-day Guangzhou, China and far west as Gibraltar in the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, all within the span of one generation. The distance between Guangzhou and Gibraltar is 10,802 km. With Guangzhou's proximity to the South China Sea and Gibraltar's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, this signifies that companions of the Prophet Muhammad reached the eastern and western boundaries of land within one generation.
