1. ABDURRAHMAN IBN AWF
He is one of the ten Companions to be given the good tidings of Paradise while the Prophet was alive and one of the first Muslims. His original name was Abdulkaaba or, according to another view, Abdu Amr. He was known by the patronymic of Abu Muhammad.
Abdurrahman was born approximately twenty years after the Event of the Elephant.
His mother was Sifa binti Awf b. Adil-Haris b. Zuhra b. Qilab. He was the son of Haris the Banu Zuhra of the Quraish tribe.
Abdurrahman, who entered Islam during the days of activity in Arkam’s house, was given this name by the Prophet.
He joined both migrations to Abyssinia. Eventually, when Muhammad (pbuh) encouraged the Companions to migrate to Medina, he did so with the others.
Abdurrahman b. Awf began trading in the Medina market and Allah gave him great wealth. Known as one of the most generous Companions, Abdurrahman b. Awf made great contributions in Allah’s path to many military expeditions, particular the Tabuk expedition.
When he became very old during Uthman’s time, Abdurrahman lived a very quiet life and finally died in Medina in the year 32 H.
Abdurrahman b. Awf heard many hadiths of the Prophet, but he refrained relating them all because of his scrupulousness. He has up to sixty-five hadiths narrated in hadith collections.
