Uthman ibn Amir ibn Amr (Arabic: عُثْمَان ٱبْن عَامِر ٱبْن عَمْرِو, romanized: ʿUthmān ibn ʿĀmir ibn ʿAmr,[1] 540–635 CE),[2]: 87 commonly known by the kunya Abu Quhafa (Arabic: أَبُو قُحَافَة, romanized: Abū Quḥāfa), was the father of the first Rashidun caliph Abu Bakr (r. 632–634). Abu Quhafa is honored by Shia Muslims as they believe that he did not support the caliphate of his son Abu Bakr. On the contrary, the Sunnis regard Abu Quhafa as an evident supporter of his son.
