Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We participated in seven battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and ate locusts. Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- Shu’bah has also narrated it from Abu Ya’fur, from Ibn Abi Awfa, who said: I participated in several battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and ate locusts.
حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا

شُعْبَةُ بِهَذَا ، قَالَ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَجَابِرٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَأَبُو يَعْفُورٍ اسْمُهُ وَاقِدٌ وَيُقَالُ : وَقْدَانُ أَيْضًا وَأَبُو يَعْفُورٍ الْآخَرُ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نِسْطَاسَ .
