Overview
Sa'id ibn al-As ibn Sa'id ibn al-As ibn Umayya of the Banu Umayya. al-Baladhuri reports that he was the governor of Uthman ibn Affan over Kufa, and that Uthman wrote to him ordering him to reinforce Habib ibn Maslama in Armenia with an army under Salman ibn Rabi'a al-Bahili. He set out to him with six thousand men from Kufa. This relates to the event of the reinforcement of Salman ibn Rabi'a to Armenia 1.
Al-Mas'udi reports that when he entered Kufa as governor, he refused to ascend the pulpit until it had been washed, and said that al-Walid had been impure 2. In Sahih al-Bukhari he is one of the three Qurashis on Uthman's committee for copying the codices of the Qur'an, together with Zayd ibn Thabit (may God be pleased with him) 3.
