Ya'qub bin Utbah narrates that Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) was born ten years after the Year of the Elephant and passed away in the year 32 AH - may Allah have mercy on him. At that time he was 75 years old. His kunyah was Abu Muhammad, and he was buried in Jannat al-Baqi'. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) led his funeral prayer. He was tall, soft-skinned, and of a white complexion tinged with red.
