Roles are dated and sourced; the museum describes the act and attributes the judgement.

Summary

Owner of the house in which — per a report Ibn Hisham transmits — people used to gather to discourage the Tabuk campaign; his house was at Jasum, and it was burned on the Prophet's order. ¹

In the Tabuk expedition

Ibn Hisham names him in a report from "the Trustworthy" describing him as a Jew whose house was at Jasum. ¹ The text gives nothing beyond his name, this description, and his house's location.

Source notes and markers of doubt

The text mentions neither his lineage nor his position; the description "Jew" comes from the narrator.
The report has a chain "the Trustworthy told me, from the one who told him" (p. 160).
