Virtues of Abd al-Rahman bin Awf al-Zuhri (may Allah be pleased with him)

Abu Ubaydah Ma'mar bin al-Muthanna narrates that the lineage of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) is as follows: Abd al-Rahman bin Awf bin Abd Awf bin al-Harith bin Zuhrah bin Kilab bin Murrah bin Ka'b bin Lu'ayy bin Ghalib bin Fihr bin Malik.

Mus'ab bin Abdullah narrates: Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf bin Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Zuhrah; his mother and the mother of his brother al-Aswad bin Awf was al-Shifa' bint Awf bin Abd al-Harith bin Zuhrah bin Kilab, who had emigrated before the Conquest of Makkah. Abd al-Rahman's name (previously) was Abd Amr, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed it and named him Abd al-Rahman.
