Presence in the Event of Ghadir

'Abd al-Rahman was among companions of the Prophet who witnessed day of Ghadir and transmitted the al-Ghadir Hadith.[2] It is narrated that Imam Ali taught him the Qur'an.[3]

On the day of al-Ruhba, Imam Ali asked those of Companions who had witnessed the day of Ghadir to give testimony about the succession of the Prophet. So some of companions such as Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, Abu 'Umra b. 'Amr b. Muhsin, Abu Zaynab, Sahl b. Hunayf, Khuzayma b. Thabit, Hubshi b. Junada al-Saluli, 'Ubayd b. 'Adhib, Luqman b. 'Ijlan al-Ansari, Thabit b. Wadi'a al-Ansari, Abu Fadala al-Ansari and 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Abd Rabb al-Ansari stood up and said that: "we testify that we heard that the Prophet said, Beware that God, the Almighty and Glorious is my master and I am the master of believers; beware that whoever I am his master, Ali is his master."[4]

Battle of Karbala

According to some sources, 'Abd al-Rahman joined the caravan of Imam Hussain from Mecca.[5] It is narrated that on the day of Tasu'a, Burayr b. Khudayr was joking with 'Abd al-Rahman. 'Abd al-Rahman told him: "It is not the time of joking now." Burayr answered: "O brother! My relatives know that when I was young, I was not a man of joking, lest I be so in my old ages. But, I know what we meet soon. By God I swear, the distance between us and the big-eyed houris is the attack of these people with their swords, and how much I love it to be now."[6]
