جبير بن نفير

Jubayr ibn Nufayr al-Hadrami, Abu Abd al-Rahman, a Successor who lived in the time of the Prophet without meeting him. He related from Abu Bakr, Umar ibn al-Khattab, al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad, Ubada ibn al-Samit and Uqba ibn Amir, among others, and his son Abd al-Rahman, Makhul and Khalid ibn Ma'dan related from him. The book counts him among the senior Successors of Syria, notes that his father was a Companion, and records Abu Hatim and Abu Zur'a as calling him trustworthy. It gives his death as 75 AH, or 80 AH according to another report. ¹
