Ali bin al-Madini states that Sayyiduna Sulayman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) killed Ubaydullah bin Ziyad.

Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numayr states that Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh Ka'b bin Amr al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the year 68 AH. There is a difference of opinion about his name; according to one view, his name was Khuwaylid bin Amr.

Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri states that the lineage of Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) goes back to Ka'b bin al-Khazraj. His mother was Amrah bint Rawahah, the sister of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him). Al-Nu'man had a son named Abdullah, after whom his kunyah was Abu Abdullah, and another of his sons was named Muhammad.

Abdullah bin Abi Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm states: We were sitting with him when mention was made of the first child born among the Ansar after the arrival of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah. He said that it was al-Nu'man bin Bashir, who was born a year and a few days, or a little less than a year, after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah. Then the people mentioned Abdullah bin Abi Talhah, and he said that Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) was pregnant with him on the day of the Battle of Hunayn, and he was born after the return to Madinah.

Abu Mushir states that Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) was treacherously killed at a place between Salamiyah and Hims.

Ali bin Muhammad al-Mada'ini and others state that when al-Dahhak bin Qays was killed at Marj Rahit, in the middle of Dhu al-Hijjah in the year 64 AH during the caliphate of Marwan bin al-Hakam, al-Nu'man bin Bashir wanted to flee from Hims, where he was the governor. He had opposed (the Umayyads) and called for allegiance to Ibn al-Zubayr, so the people of Hims searched for him, killed him and cut off his head. That al-Nu'man bin Bashir heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is established by the narrations in the two Sahihs.

Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) states: We were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and we heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Before the Hour there will be trials like pieces of the dark night, in which a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, and a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning. People will sell their share (of the Hereafter) in them for a small gain of this world." Al-Hasan al-Basri said: By Allah, we have seen such people: forms without intellect and bodies without understanding. They are like moths of the fire and flies of greed; they strive morning and evening for two dirhams, and one of them sells his religion for the price of a goat.

Khalifah bin Khayyat states that the name of Abu Waqid al-Laythi was al-Harith bin Awf bin Asid bin Jabir bin Abd Manah bin Shij' bin Amir bin Layth.

Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) said that Abu Waqid was al-Harith bin Malik.

Sa'id bin Kathir bin Ufayr states that the name of Abu Waqid al-Laythi was al-Harith bin Awf bin al-Harith bin Asid bin Jabir bin Uwayrah bin Abd Manah bin Shij' bin Amir. He was a Companion who accepted Islam early. On the day of the Conquest of Makkah, the banner of Banu Layth, Damrah and Banu Sa'd bin Bakr was with him. He lived for a long time after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then he went to Makkah, stayed there for a year and died there.
