Mention of the disagreement about the name of Abu Mahdhurah

Khalifah bin Khayyat said that the name of Abu Mahdhurah was Aws bin Mi'yar bin Lawdhan bin Rabi'ah. Shabab said that, according to Abu al-Yaqzan, Aws bin Mi'yar was killed as a disbeliever on the day of Badr, and Abu Mahdhurah's actual name was Salman bin Samurah. Shabab said that according to one view his name was Samurah bin Mi'yar.

Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) said that the name of Abu Mahdhurah was Aws bin Mi'yar bin Lawdhan bin Rabi'ah bin Urayj bin Sa'd bin Jumah. He had a full brother named Unays, who was killed as a disbeliever on the day of Badr. Abu Mahdhurah died in Makkah - may Allah Almighty protect it - in the year 59 AH. He did not emigrate, but always remained resident in Makkah.

Muhammad bin Rafi' al-Qushayri narrates: I asked Abu Sa'id bin Abi Mahdhurah, the muezzin of the Sacred Mosque, about the name of his grandfather, and he said that his name was Mi'yar bin Muhayriz.
