Sufyan ibn ʿUyaynah reported that Abu al-Dardaʾ said, “Shaddad ibn Aws was granted knowledge and forbearance.” (1)

Saʿid ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz said, “Shaddad ibn Aws surpassed the Ansar in two qualities: eloquence whenever he spoke, and self-restraint whenever he became angry.” (2)

Shaddad Abu ʿAmmar narrated from Shaddad ibn Aws—who, it is said, was present at Badr—… and he cited a hadith.

Al-Bukhari said, “Shaddad was a Companion.”

He also said, “Some maintain that he witnessed Badr, but this is not sound.” (3)

Ibn Saʿd stated, “He settled in Palestine and left descendants.”

He died in 58 AH at the age of seventy-five; he was noted for devoted worship and earnest striving. (4)

Ahmad ibn al-Barqi said, “His father, Aws ibn Thabit, fought at Badr and was martyred on the day of Uhud.” (5)

Ibn Saʿd related—through a chain that includes Thawr ibn Yazid, from Khalid ibn Maʿdan—who said,

“In Syria there remained no one more trustworthy, more learned, or more pleasing than ʿUbadah ibn al-Samit and Shaddad ibn Aws.” (6)
