It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that among the men of Banu Zuhrah bin Kilab who took part in the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf bin al-Harith bin Zuhrah (may Allah be pleased with him).

Ja'far bin Burqan narrates: It reached me that Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) freed thirty thousand slaves (households) for the pleasure of Allah.

Uthman bin al-Sharid narrates that Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) left behind at al-Naqi' one thousand camels, three thousand sheep and a hundred horses grazing there. He used to farm at al-Juruf with twenty water-drawing camels, and from there he would store a year's provision for his family. Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) had accepted Islam before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house of al-Arqam bin Abi al-Arqam and began calling to the religion there. He took part with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Battles of Badr, Uhud, al-Khandaq and all the campaigns, and at Badr, Uhud and al-Khandaq, when people fell back, he stood firm with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
