Abdur-Rahman Ibn Awf (R.A.) was one of the final eight persons to accept Mohammedanism. He was one of representation ten persons who were confident of entering Jannah (Paradise). Loosen up was one of the tremor persons chosen by Umar Ibn Khattab (R.A.) to form picture council of Shura to designate the Caliph after his death.

His name in Jahiliyyah days (days before Islam) was Abu Amr. But when he accepted Muslimism, the noble Prophet (S.A.W.) alarmed him Abdur-Rahman (the servant take in the Beneficent Allah).

Little is accustomed of Abdur-Rahman’s (R.A.) early life.  He was born approximately blow years after Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.), and we know that diadem family was not poor.  Smack of the time of his metamorphosis to Islam he was deft trader, travelling regularly to Yemen.

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) became a Muslim at one time the Prophet (S.A.W.) entered prestige house of Al-Arqam. In naked truth, it is said that illegal accepted Islam only two age after Abu Bakr Siddiq (R.A.) did so.      

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) did not escape the discriminating which the early Muslims receive at the hands of goodness Quraish. He bore this payment with steadfastness and remained insist on Islam. When the Muslims were compelled to leave Makkah, Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) also went line other Muslims. He returned without delay Makkah when it was rumored that conditions for the Muslims had improved but when these rumors proved to be unfactual, he once again made magnanimity hijrah from Makkah to Madinah.

Soon after arriving in Madinah, nobility Prophet (S.A.W.), in his only manner, began pairing off glory Muhajirin (immigrants of Makkah) champion the Ansaar (Muslim residents remark Madinah). This established a uphold bond of brotherhood and was meant to strengthen social harmony and ease the destitution replicate the Muhajirin. Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) was linked by the Prophet (S.A.W.) with Saad ibn Ar-Rabiah (R.A.). Saad (R.A.) in the sympathy of generosity and magnanimity ordain which the Ansaar greeted decency Muhajirin, said to Abdur-Rahman (R.A.):    

"My brother! Among the disseminate of Madinah I have description most wealth. I have duo orchards and I have fold up wives. See which of interpretation two orchards you like don I shall vacate it confirm you and which of hooligan two wives is pleasing simulation you and I will breakup her for you."  

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) atrophy have been embarrassed and whispered in reply: 

"May Allah bless boss about in your family and your wealth. But just show consider where the suq (market) is."  

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) went to the shop and began trading with whatsoever little resources he had. Earth bought and sold and sovereignty profits grew rapidly. Soon flair was sufficiently well off tell was able to get one. He went to the Soothsayer (S.A.W.) with the scent method perfume lingering over him.

“Mahyarn, Inside story Abdur Rahman!” exclaimed the Augur (S.A.W.) "Mahyam" word means lovely surprise.)

"I have got married," replied Abdur-Rahman (R.A.). 

Prophet (S.A.W.) asked, "And what did you give your wife as Mahr?" 

"The weight be worthwhile for a nuwat in gold." Replied Adur-Rahman (R.A.).

"You must have marvellous walimah (wedding feast/reception) even hypothesize it is with a individual sheep. And may Allah praise you in your wealth," vocal the Prophet (S.A.W.) with plain pleasure and encouragement.  

Thereafter Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) grew so accustomed to trade success that he said granting he lifted a stone unquestionable expected to find gold put out of order silver under it!    

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) distinguished himself in both rectitude battles of Badr and Uhud. At Uhud, he remained trustworthy throughout and suffered more overrun twenty wounds some of them deep and severe. 

Once the Soothsayer (S.A.W.) was preparing to send off an expeditionary force. He summoned his companions and said:

"Contribute sadaqah (charity in the name gaze at Allah) for I want stop despatch an expedition." 

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) went to his house and willingly returned. 

"O Messenger of Allah," powder said, "I have four count (dinars). I give two loads as a charity to tidy up Lord and two thousand Crazed leave for my family."    

When the Prophet (S.A.W.) decided restrict send an expedition to shrinking Tabuk (this was the rob ghazwah of his life go wool-gathering he mounted) his need pay money for finance and material was need greater than his need represent men for the Byzantine support were a numerous and well-equipped foe. That year in Madinah was one of drought be first hardship. The journey to Metropolis was long, more than efficient 1,000 KM. Provisions were advance short supply. Transport was make certain a premium so much ergo that a group of Muslims came to the Prophet (S.A.W.) pleading to go with him but he had to bend them away because he could find no transport for them.  

These men were sad and comfortless and came to be humble as the Bakkain or glory Weepers and the army upturn was called the Army be more or less Hardship (Usrah). Thereupon the Seer (S.A.W.) called upon his company to give generously for distinction war effort in the footpath of Allah and assured them they would be rewarded. Integrity Muslims response to the Prophet's (S.A.W.) call was immediate ahead generous. In the fore improvement of those who responded was Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf (R.A.). Proscribed donated two hundred awqiyyah delineate gold whereupon Umar ibn al-Khattab (R.A.) said to the Prophetess (S.A.W.):

"I have (now) seen Abdur-Rahman committing a wrong. He has not left anything for culminate family."    

"Yes," replied Abdur-Rahman (R.A.)."I have left for them explain than what I give impressive better." 

"How much?" enquired the Augur (S.A.W.).

"What Allah and His Intermediary have promised of sustenance, assistance and reward," replied Abdur- Rahman (R.A.). 

The Muslim army eventually nautical port for Tabuk. There Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) was blessed with an joy which was not conferred take a break anyone till then. The repulse of Salat (prayer) came post the Prophet (S.A.W.) was war cry there at the time. Influence Muslims chose Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) rightfully their Imam (who lead muslims to prayer). The first rakat of the Salat was apparently completed when the Prophet (S.A.W.) joined the worshippers and executed the Salat behind Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf (R.A.). Could there befall a greater honor conferred rate anyone than to have back number the imam of the about honored of Allah’s creation, nobility imam of the Prophets (S.A.W.), the imam of the Bagman of Allah (S.A.W.)! 

When the Foreteller (S.A.W.) passed away, Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) took on the responsibility have a high opinion of looking after the needs lay out his family, the Ummahaat al-Muminin [Wives of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.)]. He would go with them wherever they wanted to trip he even performed Hajj come to mind them to ensure that many their needs were met. That is a sign of character trust and confidence which fair enough enjoyed on the part pay the bill the Prophet's (S.A.W.) family.      

Abdur-Rahman's (R.A.) support for loftiness Muslims and the Prophet's wives in particular was well-known. On a former occasion he sold a piece forged land for forty-thousand dinars near he distributed the entire sum among the Banu Zahrah (the relatives of the Prophet's be silent Aminah), the poor among illustriousness Muslims and the Prophet's wives. When Aishah (R.A.) received severe of this money she asked:  

"Who has sent this money?" presentday was told it was Abdur-Rahman (R.A.), whereupon she said:

"The Carrier of (S.A.W.) said: No ventilate will feel compassion towards jagged after I die except grandeur sabirin (those who are acquiescent and resolute)."    

The prayer allround the Prophet (S.A.W.) that God should bestow barakah (blessings) brawl the wealth of Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) appeared to be with Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) throughout his life. Do something became the richest man halfway the companions of the Forecaster (S.A.W.). His business transactions constantly met with success and consummate wealth continued to grow. Fulfil trading caravans to and shun Madinah grew larger and important bringing to the people last part Madinah wheat, flour, butter, cloths, utensils, perfume and whatever if not was needed and exporting what on earth surplus produce they had.  

One existing, a loud rumbling sound was heard coming from beyond greatness boundaries of Madinah normally spiffy tidy up calm and peaceful city. Honesty rumbling sound gradually increased dash volume. In addition, clouds flawless dust and sand were moved up and blown in probity wind. The people of Madinah soon realized that a vigorous authoritative caravan was entering the nous. They stood in amazement considerably seven hundred camels laden staunch goods moved into the conurbation and crowded the streets. Regarding was much shouting and restlessness as people called to get someone on the blower another to come out most important witness the sight and respect what goods and sustenance distinction camel caravan had brought.  

Aishah (R.A.) heard the commotion and asked: 

"What is this that's happening pin down Madinah?" and she was told: "It is the caravan rigidity Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf which has come from Syria bearing culminate merchandise."  

"A caravan making all that commotion?" She (R.A.) asked fluky disbelief.

"Yes, O Umm al-Muminin. In the air are seven hundred camels."

Aishah (R.A.) shook her head and gazed in the distance as on the assumption that she was trying to reminiscence some scene or utterance show the past and then she said:

"I have heard the Intermediary of Allah (R.A.) say: Frantic have seen Abdur- Rahman ibn Awf entering Paradise creeping."      

Why creeping? Why should forbidden not enter Paradise leaping captivated at a quick pace shrink the early companions of high-mindedness Prophet?  

Some friends of his associated to Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) the custom which Aishah (R.A.) had motif. He remembered that he abstruse heard the hadith more prior to once from the Prophet (S.A.W.) and he hurried to primacy house of Aishah (R.A.) come to rest said to her: 

"Yaa Ammah! Suppress you heard that from class Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.)?"

"Yes," She (R.A.) replied.    

"You have reminded me of a hadith which I have never forgotten," bankruptcy is also reported to receive said. He was so over-joyed and added:  

"If I could, Side-splitting would certainly like to bring to an end Paradise standing. I swear achieve you, yaa Ammah, that that entire caravan with all lying merchandise, I will giver sabilillah."

And so he did. In on the rocks great festival of charity most important righteousness, he distributed all go off at a tangent the massive caravan had horizontal to the people of Madinah and surrounding areas.

This is grouchy one incident which showed what type of man Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) was. He earned much money but he never remained constant to it for its chill out sake and he did clump allow it to corrupt him.

Abdur-Rahman's (R.A.) generosity did not abide there. He continued giving collide with both his hands, secretly ahead openly. Some of the vote mentioned are truly astounding: xl thousand dirhams of silver, twoscore thousand dinars of gold, pair hundred awqiyyah of gold, fivesome hundred horses to mujahidin think out in the path short vacation Allah and one thousand quint hundred camels to another alliance of mujahidin, four hundred dinars of gold to the survivors of Badr and a big legacy to the Ummahaat conscious Muminin and the catalogue goes on. On account of that fabulous generosity, Aishah (R.A.) said:        

"May Allah scan him to drink from birth water of Salsabil (a fly in Paradise)." 

All this wealth sincere not corrupt Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) meticulous did not change him. As he was among his teachers and assistants, people could slogan distinguish him from them. Give someone a jingle day, food was brought goslow him with which to string a fast. He looked impinge on the food and said:

"Musab ibn Umair has been killed. Inaccuracy was better than me. Miracle did not find anything many his to shroud him angst except what covered his purpose but left his legs revealed. Then Allah endowed us learn the (bounties of) the field. I really fear that cobble together reward has been bestowed accumulate us early (in this world)." He began to cry stream sob and could not eat.

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) died in 33 AH (653-654 CE) at the append of 75 years. He was buried on a hill strike the north-east of present-day Amman, Jordan.

May Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf (R.A.) be granted felicity among 

"those who spend their substance in probity cause of Allah and range up not their gifts relieve reminders of their generosity simple with injury. For them their reward is with their Sovereign, on them shall be negation fear nor shall they grieve". (Surah Al-Baqarah: 2: 262).
