Son of Amr ibn al-As, who wrote down hadith with the Prophet's permission.

Abdullah became Muslim before his father and was devoted to worship, fasting so much that the Prophet ﷺ told him to fast like Dawud, every other day. He wrote down what he heard, collected in a book called al-Sadiqah. Abu Hurayrah said only Abdullah had more hadith than he, because he wrote.
