62 – Abū al-Aswad Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Asadī * (ʿ)
He is Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Naufal ibn al-Aswad ibn Naufal ibn Khuwaylid ibn Asad ibn ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā ibn Quṣayy—an eminent imam from Quraysh’s clan of Asad, commonly called Abū al-Aswad and known as “the ward of ʿUrwah.”

His father stipulated in his will that ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr should raise him. Abū al-Aswad’s grandfather Naufal was among the earliest Muslims and part of the emigrant group to Abyssinia, where he died. That, in turn, means Abū al-Aswad’s father, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, must be counted among the younger Companions.

Abū al-Aswad settled in Egypt, where he transmitted the Book of the Expeditions compiled by ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr, relating it on ʿUrwah’s authority.

He received hadith from ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn, al-Nuʿmān ibn Abī ʿAyyāsh, ʿIkrimah, and many others.

Those who reported from him include Ḥaywah ibn Shurayḥ, Shuʿbah ibn al-Ḥajjāj, Mālik ibn Anas, Ibn Lahiʿah, Anas ibn ʿIyāḍ al-Laythī, and others.

He is regarded as a trustworthy scholar and is classed among the junior Successors. He died sometime in the 130s AH.
