Summary

One of the twelve men who built the Dirar mosque, per Ibn Ishaq; his lineage: of Banu Dubay'a ibn Zayd. ¹

In the Dirar mosque

Ibn Ishaq named him in the list of those who built the mosque the Prophet ordered demolished on his return from Tabuk. ¹ The name is read "al-Az'ar" after checking the page image. ¹

Source notes and markers of doubt

Ibn Ishaq mentions nothing more of the man here than his lineage and his name among the twelve.
Describing the group as "hypocrites" in the book is not attributed here to this man in particular; the verse's descent "among them" is collective (p. 174).
