Biography of Abu ad-Darda

Abu Al-Darda''s name is Uwaimir bin Aamir bin Malik bin Zaid bin Qays bin Umayyah bin Aamir bin Adi bin Ka'b bin Al-Khazraj bin Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj; according to another report, His name is Aamir bin Malik, and Uwaimir is a surname, and we mentioned him in Uwaimir is more complete than this. His mother is Mahaba bint Waqid bin Amr bin Al-Atanaba. His conversion to Islam was a little delayed. He was the last of the people of his house to convert to Islam. He was a good Muslim. He was a rational and wise jurist. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, brought brotherhood between him and Salman the Persian, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "Awimer is the wisest of my nation." He later witnessed one of the scenes, and no one differed in his witnesses. Reported by Abdullah bin Ahmed Al-Khatib, on the authority of Abu Al-Darda', who said: "Is any of you unable to recite a third every night? The Qur'an?

They said: We are more incapable and weaker than that. He said: "For Allah, divided the Qur'an into three parts, and made "Say: He is Allah One" one of the parts of the Qur'an." Jubayr bin Nufayr narrated, on the authority of Awf bin Malik, that he saw in a dream a dome of Adam in a green meadow, and around the dome were sheep lying down, chewing their cud. Al-Ajwa crossed over. He said: I said: Whose dome is this? Another report states: This is for Abd al-Rahman bin Awf, so we waited for him until he came out and said: O Ibn Awf, this is what Allah has given.
