Ibn Rawaha was from the Arabian tribe of Banu Khazraj.[2] At a time when writing was not a common skill, he was a scribe and a poet.[3]

He was one of the twelve representatives of the Ansar who took an oath of allegiance before the Hijrah, and later spread Islam to Medina. Also he was among the 73 that pledged allegiance to Muhammad in Medina. He is said to have been alert to the supposed plots of Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy.[3]
