Life

He was 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Awf of the clan of Zuhra of Quraysh, known as Abu Muhammad. Before Islam he was called 'Abd 'Amr, and the Prophet ﷺ named him 'Abd ar-Rahman. He was one of the eight who accepted Islam first, fought at Badr, and was one of the six of 'Umar's council.

Al-Dhahabi reports how much he gave: half his wealth in the Prophet's ﷺ lifetime, and later horses and camels for Allah's cause and the price of land shared among the poor, the emigrants and the Mothers of the Believers. He died in 32 AH and was buried in al-Baqi'.
