It is narrated from Sharjeel bin Muslim Khawlani, he says: I had the honor of meeting seven such individuals, of whom five were those who had the distinction of the companionship of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and two were such men who did not attain the honor of the companionship of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); in the pre-Islamic era of ignorance, they used to drink the blood flowing from the bodies of animals. Their names are Abu Uqbah Khawlani and Abu Salih Anmari.
