Source notes and markers of doubt

  • Ibn Ishaq mentions nothing about the man in this place beyond his lineage and name among the twelve.
  • The book's description of the group as "hypocrites" is not attached here to this man specifically; the verse's descent applies to them collectively (p. 174).
