Khalifah bin Khayyat relates that the name of Abu Quhafah al-Taymi (may Allah be pleased with him) was Uthman bin Amir bin Amr bin Ka'b bin Sa'd bin Taym bin Murrah. He accepted Islam on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, and he passed away in Makkah in the month of Muharram in the fourteenth year of the Hijrah, at the age of ninety-seven.
