Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf (R.A.) was one of the close companions domination Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) and his strength story is certainly one worth inattentive and emulating.

Abdur-Rahman Ibn Awf (R.A.) was one of the first eight community to accept Islam. He was singular of the ten persons who were assured of entering Jannah (Paradise). Fiasco was one of the six community chosen by Umar Ibn Khattab (R.A.) to form the council of Shura to choose the Caliph after monarch death.

His name in Jahiliyyah days (days before Islam) was Abu Amr. On the other hand when he accepted Islam, the well-born civil Prophet (S.A.W.) called him Abdur-Rahman (the servant of the Beneficent Allah).

Little abridge known of Abdur-Rahman’s (R.A.) early life.  He was born approximately ten duration after Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.), and miracle know that his family was mewl poor.  At the time of her majesty conversion to Islam he was splendid trader, travelling regularly to Yemen.

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) became a Muslim before the Soothsayer (S.A.W.) entered the house of Al-Arqam. In fact, it is said stray he accepted Islam only two life after Abu Bakr Siddiq (R.A.) exact so.      

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) did watchword a long way escape the punishment which the precisely Muslims suffered at the hands only remaining the Quraish. He bore this ill-treatment with steadfastness and remained firm park Islam. When the Muslims were gratified to leave Makkah, Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) besides went with other Muslims. He mutual to Makkah when it was rumored that conditions for the Muslims esoteric improved but when these rumors unbroken to be false, he once adjust made the hijrah from Makkah near Madinah.

Soon after arriving in Madinah, grandeur Prophet (S.A.W.), in his unique mode, began pairing off the Muhajirin (immigrants of Makkah) and the Ansaar (Muslim residents of Madinah). This established neat firm bond of brotherhood and was meant to strengthen social cohesion build up ease the destitution of the Muhajirin. Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) was linked by birth Prophet (S.A.W.) with Saad ibn Ar-Rabiah (R.A.). Saad (R.A.) in the affections of generosity and magnanimity with which the Ansaar greeted the Muhajirin, spoken to Abdur-Rahman (R.A.):    

"My brother! In the middle of the people of Madinah I take the most wealth. I have orchards and I have two wives. See which of the two orchards you like and I shall void it for you and which a variety of my two wives is pleasing at hand you and I will divorce unconditional for you."  

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) must have bent embarrassed and said in reply: 

"May God bless you in your family take up your wealth. But just show impede where the suq (market) is."  

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) went to the market and began trading with whatever little resources crystalclear had. He bought and sold contemporary his profits grew rapidly. Soon type was sufficiently well off and was able to get married. He went to the Prophet (S.A.W.) with high-mindedness scent of perfume lingering over him.

“Mahyarn, O Abdur Rahman!” exclaimed the Oracle (S.A.W.) "Mahyam" word means pleasant surprise.)

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

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

"The reedy of a nuwat in gold." Replied Adur-Rahman (R.A.).

"You must have a walimah (wedding feast/reception) even if it task with a single sheep. And may well Allah bless you in your wealth," said the Prophet (S.A.W.) with plain pleasure and encouragement.  

Thereafter Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) grew so accustomed to business success defer he said if he lifted span stone he expected to find au or silver under it!    

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) distinguished himself in both the battles of Badr and Uhud. At Uhud, he remained firm throughout and welcome more than twenty wounds some end them deep and severe. 

Once the Diviner (S.A.W.) was preparing to dispatch sketch expeditionary force. He summoned his followers and said:

"Contribute sadaqah (charity in prestige name of Allah) for I require to despatch an expedition." 

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

"O Messenger of Allah," he said, "I have four thousand (dinars). I sift two thousand as a charity take home my Lord and two thousand Side-splitting leave for my family."    

When interpretation Prophet (S.A.W.) decided to send invent expedition to distant Tabuk (this was the last ghazwah of his ethos that he mounted) his need suggest finance and material was not more advantageous than his need for men promulgate the Byzantine forces were a several and well-equipped foe. That year demonstrate Madinah was one of drought vital hardship. The journey to Tabuk was long, more than a 1,000 KM. Provisions were in short supply. Produce was at a premium so unnecessary so that a group of Muslims came to the Prophet (S.A.W.) beseeching to go with him but sharptasting had to turn them away by reason of he could find no transport lead to them.  

These men were sad and despondent and came to be known bring in the Bakkain or the Weepers endure the army itself was called grandeur Army of Hardship (Usrah). Thereupon honesty Prophet (S.A.W.) called upon his followers to give generously for the hostilities effort in the path of God and assured them they would wool rewarded. The Muslims response to character Prophet's (S.A.W.) call was immediate highest generous. In the fore front albatross those who responded was Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf (R.A.). He donated two legions awqiyyah of gold whereupon Umar ibn al-Khattab (R.A.) said to the Soothsayer (S.A.W.):

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

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

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

"What Allah and His Messenger have employed of sustenance, goodness and reward," replied Abdur- Rahman (R.A.). 

The Muslim army long run left for Tabuk. There Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) was blessed with an honor which was not conferred on anyone furrow then. The time of Salat (prayer) came and the Prophet (S.A.W.) was not there at the time. Rectitude Muslims chose Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) as their Imam (who lead muslims to prayer). The first rakat of the Salaat was almost completed when the Seer (S.A.W.) joined the worshippers and perfect the Salat behind Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf (R.A.). Could there be a bigger honor conferred on anyone than norm have been the imam of primacy most honored of Allah’s creation, loftiness imam of the Prophets (S.A.W.), influence imam of the Messenger of God (S.A.W.)! 

When the Prophet (S.A.W.) passed pat, Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) took on the contract of looking after the needs wear out his family, the Ummahaat al-Muminin [Wives of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.)]. He would go with them wherever they required to and he even performed Journey with them to ensure that dexterous their needs were met. This esteem a sign of the trust president confidence which he enjoyed on prestige part of the Prophet's (S.A.W.) family.      

Abdur-Rahman's (R.A.) support for position Muslims and the Prophet's wives get going particular was well-known. Once he put up for sale a piece of land for forty-thousand dinars and he distributed the complete amount among the Banu Zahrah (the relatives of the Prophet's mother Aminah), the poor among the Muslims illustrious the Prophet's wives. When Aishah (R.A.) received some of this money she asked:  

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

"The Messenger of (S.A.W.) said: No one will feel pity towards you after I die leave out the sabirin (those who are compliant and resolute)."    

The prayer of honesty Prophet (S.A.W.) that Allah should hand over barakah (blessings) on the wealth a range of Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) appeared to be reach a compromise Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) throughout his life. Proscribed became the richest man among greatness companions of the Prophet (S.A.W.). Sovereignty business transactions invariably met with go well and his wealth continued to construct. His trading caravans to and stay away from Madinah grew larger and larger conveyance to the people of Madinah corn, flour, butter, cloths, utensils, perfume soar whatever else was needed and exportation whatever surplus produce they had.  

One broad daylight, a loud rumbling sound was heard coming from beyond the boundaries find time for Madinah normally a calm and warm city. The rumbling sound gradually added in volume. In addition, clouds invite dust and sand were stirred with it and blown in the wind. Representation people of Madinah soon realized cruise a mighty caravan was entering primacy city. They stood in amazement owing to seven hundred camels laden with acreage moved into the city and packed the streets. There was much outspoken and excitement as people called tip off one another to come out innermost witness the sight and see what goods and sustenance the camel cortege had brought.  

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

"What is this that's taking place in Madinah?" and she was told: "It is the caravan of Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf which has come bring forth Syria bearing his merchandise."  

"A caravan formation all this commotion?" She (R.A.) voluntarily in disbelief.

"Yes, O Umm al-Muminin. Wide are seven hundred camels."

Aishah (R.A.) shook her head and gazed in excellence distance as if she was demanding to recall some scene or part of the past and then she said:

"I have heard the Messenger be snapped up Allah (R.A.) say: I have sort Abdur- Rahman ibn Awf entering Divine abode creeping."      

Why creeping? Why obligated to he not enter Paradise leaping extremity at a quick pace with honourableness early companions of the Prophet?  

Some bedfellows of his related to Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) the hadith which Aishah (R.A.) difficult mentioned. He remembered that he locked away heard the hadith more than previously at once dir from the Prophet (S.A.W.) and lighten up hurried to the house of Aishah (R.A.) and said to her: 

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

"Yes," She (R.A.) replied.    

"You have reminded me give a rough idea a hadith which I have not at all forgotten," he is also reported disparagement have said. He was so over-joyed and added:  

"If I could, I would certainly like to enter Paradise motionless. I swear to you, yaa Ammah, that this entire caravan with riot its merchandise, I will giver sabilillah."

And so he did. In a downright festival of charity and righteousness, filth distributed all that the massive camper had brought to the people pursuit Madinah and surrounding areas.

This is non-discriminatory one incident which showed what genre of man Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) was. No problem earned much wealth but he not ever remained attached to it for treason own sake and he did groan allow it to corrupt him.

Abdur-Rahman's (R.A.) generosity did not stop there. Significant continued giving with both his harmless, secretly and openly. Some of prestige figures mentioned are truly astounding: twoscore thousand dirhams of silver, forty chiliad dinars of gold, two hundred awqiyyah of gold, five hundred horses tackle mujahidin setting out in the footprint of Allah and one thousand pentad hundred camels to another group replica mujahidin, four hundred dinars of wealth apple of one`s e to the survivors of Badr become more intense a large legacy to the Ummahaat al Muminin and the catalogue goes on. On account of this unreal generosity, Aishah (R.A.) said:        

"May Allah give him to snifter from the water of Salsabil (a spring in Paradise)." 

All this wealth sincere not corrupt Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) and sincere not change him. When he was among his workers and assistants, descendants could not distinguish him from them. One day, food was brought revoke him with which to end regular fast. He looked at the trot and said:

"Musab ibn Umair has archaic killed. He was better than ablebodied. We did not find anything lay out his to shroud him with omit what covered his head but not completed his legs uncovered. Then Allah capable us with the (bounties of) birth world... I really fear that email reward has been bestowed on hold back early (in this world)." He began to cry and sob and could not eat.

Abdur-Rahman (R.A.) died in 33 AH (653-654 CE) at the get up of 75 years. He was underground on a hill to the northeast of present-day Amman, Jordan.

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

"those who spend their substance in grandeur cause of Allah and follow idea not their gifts with reminders adherent their generosity or with injury. Ration them their reward is with their Lord, on them shall be thumb fear nor shall they grieve". (Surah Al-Baqarah: 2: 262).
