Summary
Ibn Ishaq names him as a possibility in place of his brother Ma'n, among the two men the Prophet charged with demolishing the Dirar mosque. 1
Source notes and markers of doubt
- The text says no more than "or his brother Asim ibn Adi" (p. 174); his share in the demolition is possible, not asserted, in Ibn Ishaq.
- This name is easily confused with the known Asim ibn Adi al-Ajlani of the biographical works; their identity was not verified in this batch (needs_source).
