It is also narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that his kunyah was Abu Iyas, and according to his son Iyas bin Salamah, his father passed away in Madinah in 74 AH, when he was eighty years old.

It is narrated from Khalifah bin Khayyat that the kunyah of Sayyiduna Salamah bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Sinan, and he passed away in Madinah in 74 AH.
