أبو فروة عبد الرحمن بن الأسود
In al-Baladhuri: named Abu Farwa for the fur garment on him when captured; al-Kalbi said he was an Arab of Arasha of Bali captured in Abu Bakr's days from Syria's Jabal al-Jalil — also said of Ayn al-Tamr's captives; Na'im al-Asadi bought him, then Uthman bought him for grave-digging; when the people rose on Uthman he was with them against him, Uthman saying 'repel the wrongs' — he answered 'you are first among them: I bought you from alms-money to dig graves and you abandoned it'; his son Abdallah was among the notable mawali, and al-Mansur's minister al-Rabi' ibn Yunus ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Farwa was of his line.
