Summary

Brother of Janada and Jabir by their mother Hasana; Ibn Ishaq names him with the household of Sufyan ibn Ma'mar al-Jumahi among the Abyssinian emigrants. 1

In the Abyssinian emigrants chapter

Ibn Ishaq names him "brother by their mother" of Janada and Jabir, sons of Sufyan, tracing him to their mother Hasana. 1 He does not mention his death here nor his mother's — only Sufyan and his two sons are marked as perishing in Umar's caliphate. 1

Source notes and markers of doubt

  • The text states neither his father nor his tribal affiliation; he is recorded by his mother only.
