Abdul-Rahman bin Awf reported,

Abdul-Rahman bin Awf said, "I made a written agreement with Umaya bin Khalaf that he would protect my dependents and property in Mecca and I would protect his in Medina. When I wrote 'al-Rahman,' he said, 'I do not know al-Rahman. Write my name as you were known in the days of ignorance.' So I wrote it as Abd Amr.On the day of Badr, I went out to a hill to take him there for safekeeping while the people were asleep, but Bilal saw him. Bilal went out until he stood before a gathering of the Ansar and said, 'Umaya bin Khalaf! May I not be saved if Umaya is saved!' A group of the Ansar set out with him, following our tracks.When I feared they would overtake us, I left his son behind to occupy them, but they killed him and still refused to turn back, continuing their pursuit of us. Umaya was a heavy man. When they caught up with us, I said to him, 'Kneel down,' and he knelt. I threw myself over him to shield him, but they reached him with their swords from beneath me until they killed him. One of them struck my foot with his sword."Abdul-Rahman bin Awf used to show us that scar on the top of his foot.

عن عبد الرحمن بن عوف قال

كاتبت أمية بن خلف كتابا بأن يحفظني في صاغيتي بمكة وأحفظه في صاغيته بالمدينة، فلما ذكرت الرحمن قال: لا أعرف الرحمن، كاتبني باسمك الذي كان في الجاهلية، فكاتبته عبد عمرو فلما كان يوم بدر خرجت إلى جبل لأحرزه حين نام الناس، فأبصر بلال، فخرج حتى وقف على مجلس من الأنصار فقال: أمية بن خلف، لا نجوت إن نجا أمية، فخرج معه فريق من الأنصار في آثارنا، فلما خشيت أن يلحقونا خلفت لهم ابنه لأشغلهم فقتلوه، ثم أبوا حتى يتبعونا- وكان رجلا ثقيلا- فلما أدركونا قلت له: ابرك، فبرك، فألقيت عليه نفسي لأمنعه، فتجللوه بالسيوف من تحتي حتى قتلوه، وأصاب أحدهم رجلي بسيفه، وكان عبد الرحمن بن عوف يرينا ذلك الأثر في ظهر قدمه.
