Mention of the virtues of Abdullah bin Abi Awfa al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him)

It is narrated from Yahya bin Ma'in that the kunyah of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) is Abu Mu'awiyah.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) (whose father Abu Awfa's name was Alqamah bin Khalid bin al-Harith bin Abi Usayd bin Rifa'ah bin Tha'labah bin Hawazin bin Aslam bin Afsa) had the kunyah Abu Mu'awiyah. According to us, the first battle he took part in alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was Khaybar, and he was present at all the battles after that. He remained in Madinah until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, then he moved to Kufah; when the Muslims settled there he too settled there, and he built a house in the quarter of the tribe of Aslam. In the last part of his life he had lost his eyesight, and he passed away in Kufah in the year 86 AH.

It is narrated from Abu Nu'aym that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in the year 87 or 88 AH.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Jarir that it has also been said that the last of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to pass away in Kufah was Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Isma'il bin Abi Khalid that I saw the mark of a wound on the hand of Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him), so I asked: When did you receive this? He said: "On the day of the Battle of Hunayn." I said: Were you present at Hunayn? He said: "Yes, and in the battles before it as well."
