Musnad Abdur Rahman

Hazrat Ibrahim narrated from his father Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) fell unconscious, so people began to cry out over him. When he regained consciousness, he asked: Did I fall unconscious? The people said: Yes. He said: Two hard-hearted and ill-tempered men or two angels came to me, they were taking me away, then they met two men or angels who were gentle and merciful. They asked: Where are you taking him? They replied: To Aziz al-Amin or Amir (the narrator was unsure whether the words were Aziz al-Amin or Amir). They said: Leave him, for he is among those for whom happiness has been written from the womb of his mother.

Hazrat Ibrahim narrated from his father Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I was standing in the row on the day of the Battle of Badr, I looked to my right and left and saw two young Ansari boys standing, although I wished that I would be among strong men (seeing them, I was not satisfied). Suddenly, one of them struck me with his elbow and said: Uncle! Do you know Abu Jahl? I said: Yes, but nephew! What will you do when you see him? He said: I have heard that he abuses the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By the One in Whose hand is my soul! If I see him, my body will not part from his until one of us dies. Hearing his words, I was amazed. Meanwhile, the other also drew my attention and said the same thing. At that moment, suddenly I saw Abu Jahl. He was running about among his troops. I said to both of them: This is the one you were asking me about. Both of them rushed towards him with their swords, and as soon as they reached him, they finished him off. Then, running, they came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him (of the killing), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Which of you killed him?" Each said: I killed him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you cleaned your swords?" They said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at both of their swords and said: "You both have killed him." But then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Abu Jahl's belongings to Mu'adh, the son of Amr bin Jamuh. These two youths were Mu'adh bin 'Afra and Mu'adh bin Amr bin al-Jamuh.

Sa’d narrated from his father Ibrahim, who narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Umayyah bin Khalaf said: O Abd al-Ilah! Who among you has the mark of an ostrich feather on his chest? I said: Hamzah bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: He is the one who has done this to us.

Ibrahim bin Sa’d narrated from his father, who narrated from his grandfather. He said: Food was placed before Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) one day, and he said: Mus’ab bin Umair (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred. He was better than me, and we had nothing except a single sheet to shroud him in. And Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) was also martyred, and there was nothing available for his shroud except a single sheet. (The narrator) doubted whether he mentioned the name of Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) or spoke about another man who was better than me. We had nothing except a single sheet for a shroud. He said: I fear (from Allah) that we may have been given our good things in this worldly life (and that nothing remains for us in the Hereafter). Then he began to weep.
