Bajalah says: I was the scribe of Ahnaf bin Qais’s uncle, Juz’ bin Mu’awiyah. A letter from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reached us one year before his death, in which it was written:“Kill every sorcerer. Separate those among the Magians who have married their close relatives, and prevent them from reciting Zamzamah (the low voice recitation the Magians used to do while eating).”So we killed three sorcerers, and in the light of the Book of Allah, we began the process of separating a man from his forbidden wife. Then Juz’ once had a large amount of food prepared, placed his sword on his thigh, and invited the Magians to eat. They brought and piled up silver equal to the weight of one or two mules, and ate the food without reciting Zamzamah. Also, previously Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not take jizyah from the Magians, but when Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) testified that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had taken jizyah from the Magians of the region called Hajar, then he also began to take jizyah from the Magians. Sufyan says that Bajalah performed Hajj with Mus’ab in the year 70 AH.

On one occasion, Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf, Sayyiduna Talha, Sayyiduna Zubair, and Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with them all): I ask you by Allah, by whose command the heavens and the earth are established, do you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Inheritance is not established in our wealth; whatever we leave behind is all charity”? They replied in the affirmative.

Abdullah bin Qariz once went to visit Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) when he had fallen ill. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "It is kinship that has brought you here. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allah Almighty says: I am the Most Merciful (Rahman), I created the womb (rahm) and derived its name from My Name. Whoever maintains it, I will maintain ties with him, and whoever severs it, I will cut him off and shatter him.'"

Nadr bin Shaiban says that once I met Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman. I said to him: Tell me a hadith from your father which he himself heard from the Prophet (peace be upon him), and that too about the month of Ramadan. He said: Alright, my father narrated this hadith from the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Allah Almighty has made the fasting of Ramadan obligatory, and I have declared its night prayer (Qiyam) as Sunnah. Whoever fasts in Ramadan with faith and seeking reward, and performs the night prayer (Tarawih), will come out of sins as a newborn child comes out from its mother."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Any woman who offers her five daily prayers, fasts in the month of Ramadan, guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, it will be said to her: Enter Paradise through whichever gate you wish."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out, and I followed behind him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered a garden, and there he began to pray. He performed such a long prostration that I began to fear that perhaps his soul had been taken. I moved forward to see, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) raised his head and said: "Abdur Rahman! What happened?" I mentioned my concern. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Jibreel said to me: Shall I not give you glad tidings? Allah Almighty says that whoever sends blessings upon you, I will send My mercy upon him, and whoever sends peace upon you, I will send peace upon him, that is, I will grant him safety."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out, (I also followed behind). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered a garden, and there he began to pray, and he performed such a long prostration that I began to fear that perhaps his soul had been taken. I moved forward to see, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and said: "Who is it?" I replied: "Abdur Rahman." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Abdur Rahman! What happened?" I mentioned my concern, upon which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibreel came to me and gave me the glad tidings that Allah Almighty says: Whoever sends blessings upon you, I will send mercy upon him, and whoever sends peace upon you, I will send peace upon him, that is, I will grant him safety. Upon this, I performed a prostration of gratitude in the presence of Allah."

Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went away to relieve himself. Meanwhile, the time for prayer arrived, so the people established the prayer and Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward and led them in prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also came from behind and performed one rak‘ah with the people following him, and after finishing the prayer, he said: "You did well."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "If an epidemic spreads in a region, do not go there, and if you are in a region and the epidemic spreads there, do not leave from there."
