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.

It is narrated from Musa bin Uqbah that he said: We do not know in Islam of four generations who met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (as Companions), that is, fathers along with sons (and then their children), except Abu Quhafah, Abu Bakr, Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr and Abu Atiq Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them).

She was completely healthy. Then she went into prostration and did not raise her head until she died. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "All praise belongs to Allah, who gives life and gives death. Surely in this incident there is a lesson for me concerning my brother Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr. He had gone to sleep at his place of midday rest, and when the people went to wake him, they found him dead." So a misgiving had arisen in the heart of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that perhaps he had been treated with some evil, or that haste had been made in burying him while he was still alive. Then she found in this woman's death a source of consolation for herself, and the misgiving that was in her heart went away.

Then when we were parted, (after the shock of this death) I felt as though Malik (my brother) and I, despite our long companionship, had never spent even a single night together." Then she returned to Makkah and said: "By Allah! Had I been present at the time of your death, I would have buried you right where your soul departed."

But Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) returned that sum, flatly refused to take it and said: "Shall I sell my religion for my worldly gain?" Then he set off for Makkah, and he died there.
