完整生平

Abd Allah ibn Amr ibn al-As was the son of the famous conqueror Amr ibn al-As, but chose a very different path — that of scholarship and asceticism. He accepted Islam before his father and dedicated his life to the pursuit of religious knowledge. The Prophet ﷺ gave him permission to write down hadith, making him among the very first companions to maintain a written collection, which he called al-Sahifah al-Sadiqah (The Truthful Scroll).

He was known for his extraordinary devotion in worship, fasting every other day and reading the entire Quran in three days. The Prophet ﷺ moderated his austerities out of concern for him, teaching him to balance worship with bodily rights. Abd Allah was deeply versed in the previous scriptures as well as the Quran, earning him the epithet "the scholar of the two books." He narrated over 700 hadiths and lived until approximately 65 AH.
