Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abu Bakr (; –675), was an Arab Muslim military commander in the service of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and the Rashidun caliphs Abu Bakr, and Umar. His mother was Umm Ruman and he was the full brother of Aisha. Unlike the rest of his family, including his father Abu Bakr and sister Aisha, he did not convert to Islam until the Treaty of Hudaybiyah in 628. Four generations of the family of Abd al-Rahman had the distinction of being the companions (sahaba) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad namely Abd al-Rahman, his father Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, his grandfather Uthman Abu Quhafa and his son Abu Atiq Muhammad. It was believed that no other family held this distinction. Biography While still a non-Muslim, Abd al-Rahman fought on the side of Quraish in the Battles of Badr and Uhud.
