wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

Ok.. this is going to be easy.

I became a Muslim on the hands of at-Tufayl ibn Amr, the chieftain of the Daws tribe to which he belonged. When at-Tufayl returned to his village after meeting the Prophet peace be upon him and becoming a Muslim in the early years of his mission, I was one of the first to respond to his call. When at-Tufayl visited Makkah again, I accompanied him. There he had the honor and privilege of meeting the noble Prophet peace be upon him who asked me:

"What is your name?"

"Abdu Shams - Servant of a Sun," I replied.

"Instead, let it be Abdur-Rahman - the Servant of the Beneficent Lord," said the Prophet peace be upon him.

"Yes, Abdur-Rahman (it shall be) O Messenger of Allah," I replied.

Who am I?
