The virtues of Abd al-Rahman bin Uthman al-Taymi (may Allah be pleased with him)

Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Uthman bin Ubaydullah al-Taymi: He was the nephew of Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him). His mother was Umayrah bint Jud'an, the sister of Abdullah bin Jud'an, a famous (generous) figure of Quraysh.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Uthman al-Taymi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I accepted Islam on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, and I pledged allegiance at the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Uthman bin Abd al-Rahman narrates from his brother that he said: Your father, Abd al-Rahman bin Uthman, was martyred alongside Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) (in the battle against the Umayyads). Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) gave the order, and he was buried right in the Mosque of the Ka'bah (the Sacred Mosque of Makkah). Then he had horses run over his grave at night so that its trace would be erased (and the enemy could not desecrate his body).
