Biography of Aws ibn Khudam
Dhahabi: Aws ibn Khudham was one of the six who stayed behind from the expedition to Tabuk. He tied himself to a pillar in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah to stay behind, and Allah revealed about him and his companions: ﴿وَآخَرُونَ اعْتَرَفُوا بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا عَمَلا صَالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا﴾, and the names of the six are: Aws ibn Khudham, Abu Lababah, Tha'labah ibn Wadi'ah, Ka'b ibn Malik, Mararah ibn al-Rabi', and Hilal ibn Umayyah, and it is said: that Abu Lababah tied himself because of the Banu Quraizah, and his kunyah will be mentioned when his name is mentioned, and his kunyah, if Allah wills.
He was narrated by Ibn Mandah and Abu Nai'm.
