Muhammad bin Umar said: The kunyah of Anas bin Marthad bin Abi Marthad al-Ghanawi was Abu Yazid. He was an ally of Sayyiduna Hamzah bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him). He died in Rabi' al-Awwal in the year 20 AH, and there was a difference of twenty-one years between his age and that of his father. I have already mentioned Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi and then his son Marthad, and this is his grandson; all three generations are Companions of the Messenger. Mention of the virtues of Usayd bin Hudayr al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him).
