Aws ibn as-Samit

Aws ibn al-Samit ibn Qays ibn Asram ibn Fahd ibn Thalabah ibn Ghunm, and he is Qaql ibn Auf ibn Amr ibn Auf ibn al-Khazraj al-Ansari al-Khazraji.

A brother of Ubada ibn al-Samit.

He witnessed Badr, and all the battles were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He was the one who was seen with his wife and had relations with her before he divorced her, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to divorce her with fifteen saa's of barley on sixty needy people.

Abd al-Wahhab ibn Abi Mansur al-Amin informed us, with his isnad to Abu Dawud Suleiman ibn al-Ash'ath, who informed us that al-Hasan ibn Ali informed us that Yahya ibn Adam informed us that Ibn Idris informed us from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Ma'mar ibn Abdullah ibn Hanthalah, from Yusuf ibn Abdullah ibn Salam, from Khawla bint Malik ibn Thalabah, who said: My husband Aws ibn al-Samit was seen with me, and he mentioned the hadith. Ibn Abbas said: The first zihar in Islam was that of Aws ibn al-Samit, and he had a daughter-in-law under him, so he zihar-ed her.

And he was a poet, and one of his poems is:

I am the son of Muzikiya, Amr, my grandfather, ... My father is Amir, the water of the sky

He lived in Jerusalem, and Shaddad ibn Aws al-Ansari, and he died in Ramla, in the land of Palestine, in the year thirty-four, and he was seventy-two years old. His brother Ubada died in Ramla, or in Jerusalem, as Abu Ahmad al-Asakari said. The three narrators mentioned it.
