Remembrance 1 from Chapter 256
THERE IS NO limit to this. A large number of the Companions and those after them were given the kunyah ‘Father of So-and-so’. Among them was ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān 
, who had three kunyahs: Abū ‘Amr, Abū ‘Abdullāh, and Abū Laylā. There were also Abū ad-Dardā’ and his wife Umm ad-Dardā’ the Elder 
. She was a Companion and her name was Khayrah. Umm ad-Dardā’ the Younger was his other wife, and her name was Hujaymah and she had a tremendous rank. She was an eminent jurist, known for her abundant intellect and her luminous merit; and she was a Tābi‘. Further examples include Abū Laylā, the father of ‘Abd ar-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā, whose wife was Umm Laylā. Both Abī Laylā and his wife Umm Laylā were Companions. There is Abū Umāmah, the name of a large number of Companions. There are also Abū Rayḥānah, Abū Rimthah, Abū Rīmah, Abū ‘Amrah Bashīr ibn ‘Amr, Abū Fāṭimah al-Laythī (whose [given] name is said to have been ‘Abdullāh ibn Unays), Abū Maryam al-Azdī, Abū Ruqayyah Tamīm ad-Dārī, and Abū Karīmah al-Miqdād ibn Ma‘dīkarib—all of whom were Companions.
