Overview
'Abdallah ibn Busr ibn Abi Busr, the long-lived Companion, "blessing of Syria" Abu Safwan al-Mazini of Hims; his hadiths are few and his suhba brief, while his brothers 'Atiyya and al-Samma' and their father also had suhba. He campaigned to Cyprus with Mu'awiya under 'Uthman. 1
Reports
Safwan ibn 'Amr saw the mark of prostration on his forehead; he reported that the Messenger of God ﷺ wiped his head when he was a boy and said he would live a century — and he lived a hundred years. Al-Waqidi says he died in 88 AH, the last of the Companions to die in Syria. 1
