It is narrated from Khalifah bin Khayyat that Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) died suddenly. His kunyah was Abu Abdullah, and he died in 53 AH.

It is narrated from Safiyyah bint Shaybah that she said: Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) arrived, and I went to offer her condolences on the death of her brother, Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him). She said: "May Allah have mercy on my brother. What grieves me most about him is that he was not buried where he died." The narrator (Safiyyah) says: Her brother had died at "al-Hubshi" (a place near Makkah), so the people of Quraysh went there, carried him and brought him to upper Makkah.
