WHO IS ABU AD-DARDAA’?‎

The name of Abu Ad-Dardaa’ Al-Ansaaree ‎Al-Khazrajee was ’Uwaymir ibn Zayd ibn ‎Qays, and it was also said that his name ‎was ’Uwaymir bin ‘Aamir. He accepted ‎Islam on the day of Badr, may Allaah be ‎pleased with him, and participated in the ‎battle of Uhud and the battles after that. ‎‎’Umar ibn Al-Khattaab, may Allaah be ‎pleased with him, paid him a stipend of ‎four hundred (of their currency) per ‎month, because the companions were given ‎stipends based on their precedence in ‎Islam. ’Umar gave those who participated ‎in the two battles of Badr four hundred per ‎month and he included Abu Ad-Dardaa’ ‎with those who participated in both battles ‎of Badr. ‎

Adh-Dhahabee said in his biography of ‎Abu Ad-Dardaa’, ‎

‎“Abu Ad-Dardaa’ was an Imaam to be ‎followed, the judge of Damascus, the ‎wise man of this Ummah, and the ‎best of the reciters of Damascus.”‎
