Abu Bakra ibn Masruh
أبو بكرة بن مسروح
Abu Bakra ibn Masruh Nufay' al-Thaqafi, the Prophet's mawla of Thaqif's foundlings; his testimony in the Mughira affair earned him Umar's qadhf-flogging — swearing again 'he is an adulterer' he was warned of the hadd — 'then it is a claim and your man is stoned' — and he swore never again to speak to Ziyad, his half-brother by Sumayya; he had come to Basra with Utba ibn Ghazwan.
