It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) (whose father Abu Awfa's name was Alqamah bin Khalid bin al-Harith bin Abi Usayd bin Rifa'ah bin Tha'labah bin Hawazin bin Aslam bin Afsa) had the kunyah Abu Mu'awiyah. According to us, the first battle he took part in alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was Khaybar, and he was present at all the battles after that. He remained in Madinah until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, then he moved to Kufah; when the Muslims settled there he too settled there, and he built a house in the quarter of the tribe of Aslam. In the last part of his life he had lost his eyesight, and he passed away in Kufah in the year 86 AH.

It is narrated from Sa'id bin Jumhan that I came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him), the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and greeted him with salam while he had become blind. He asked me: "Who are you?" I said: I am Sa'id bin Jumhan. He asked: "How is your father?" I said: The Azariqah (a sect of the Khawarij) have killed him. He said: "May Allah curse the Azariqah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to us that they are the dogs of the Fire."

Abbas bin Sahl narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him), that his original name was "Hazn", so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) changed his name and named him "Sahl".
