Abu Lubaba ibn Abd al-Mundhir

Abu Lubaba ibn Abd al-Mundhir al-Ansari, of the Aws and of Banu Amr ibn Awf ¹. His name is disputed — Musa ibn Uqba said Bashir (with dotted b), and so Abu al-Aswad from Urwa, though some said it unpointed; Ibn Ishaq said Rifa'a, as did Ibn Numayr and others; and the author of al-Kashshaf and others mentioned his name as Marwan ¹.

Ibn Ishaq said: "they claim" the Prophet sent Abu Lubaba and al-Harith ibn Hatib back after they had gone out with him to Badr, appointed Abu Lubaba over Medina, and allotted them both their shares and reward with the men of Badr; Musa ibn Uqba likewise counted him among the Badr men ¹.

They said he was one of the chiefs on the night of al-Aqaba, that Rifa'a and Ma'shar were his brothers, and that Banu Amr ibn Awf's banner on the day of the conquest was with him ¹.

He related from the Prophet; from him relate his two sons al-Sa'ib and Abd al-Rahman, Abdullah ibn Umar, his father Salim ibn Abdullah, his client Nafi', Abdullah ibn Ka'b ibn Malik and others. It is said he died in Ali's caliphate; Khalifa said he died after Uthman's killing; it is said he lived past fifty AH ¹.
