EspañolABDUR RAHMAN BIN AWF
(Redirected from Abd-al-Rahman ibn Awf)
'Abdur Rahman bin Awf', (Arabic: عبد الرحمن بن عوف) (d. 652 ) was one of the sahaba.
His name has also be tranlisterated as Abdur Rahman Ibn Awf, Abdur-Rahman ibn 'Awf, Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf.
'Abd-al-Rahman' was born with the name ''Abdu Amr'' ibn Awf into the tribe of Banu Zuhrah [1].
He married the Uthman ibn Affan's half-sister, the daughter of Uthman's mother Urwa bint Kariz by her second husband. A Restatement of the History of Islam and Muslims on Al-Islam.org [1].
Sa`ad ibn Abi Waqqas was his first cousin .
He was one of the first eight persons to accept Islam, doing so two days after Abu Bakr. On this occasion he adopted the name ''Abd-al-Rahman'', meaning "Slave of (God) the Beneficient".
Abd al-Rahman was friends with Umayyah ibn Khalaf, a stern opponent of Islam. When Abd al-Rahman emigrated to Medina, the two formed a written agreement, according to which Abd-al-Rahman was to protect Umayah's property and family in Medina, while Umayyah would protect Abd-al-Rahman's in Mecca. When Abd al-Rahman wanted to sign the document, Umayyah protested, saying "I do not know Ar-Rahman" and requested that the pre-Islamic name "Abdu Amr" should be used, to which Ad al-Rahman yielded.
The two met again in the Battle of Badr:
In 634 CE, the dying Caliph Abu Bakr called in Abd al-Rahman (along with Uthman) and informed him of his designation of Umar ibn al-Khattab as successor. (See Hadith of the succession to Abu Bakr.
In 644, the dying Umar nominated a board of six members who were required to elect one of themselves as the next caliph. The group consisted of Sad Ibn Abi Waqqas, Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, Talha ibn Ubayd Allah, Ali ibn Abi Talib and Uthman ibn Affan. Uthman was chosen as the third caliph [2].
Sunnis regard him as one of The Ten Promised Paradise.
