Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri said: The lineage of Nu'aym bin al-Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him) is Nu'aym bin Abdullah bin Khalid bin Asid bin Abd Awf bin Ubayd bin Uwayj bin Adi bin Ka'b. He accepted Islam before the emigration of those who emigrated to Abyssinia. He is called 'al-Nahham', and he was given this title because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I heard his clearing of the throat in Paradise." 'Al-Nahmah' means sound.

It is narrated from Urwah, concerning the names of those Companions from Banu Adi bin Ka'b of the tribe of Quraysh who were martyred on the day of the Battle of Ajnadayn: among them is Nu'aym bin Abdullah al-Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him); this was in the year 13 AH.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar that Nu'aym bin al-Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred on the day of the Battle of Yarmuk in the month of Rajab, in the year 15 AH.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from Nu'aym al-Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him): On a very cold night the muezzin of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the call to prayer while I was huddled under my quilt. I wished in my heart that Allah Almighty would put these words on the muezzin's tongue: "And there is no harm (in not coming)" (that is, people may pray in their homes). When the muezzin finished the call to prayer, he said (those very words): "And there is no constraint / harm (in not coming)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Muhammad bin Umar said: Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam in Makkah and followed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he returned to his people, the tribe of Daws, and remained there until he emigrated to Madinah after the battles of Badr, Uhud and the Trench. He arrived with those of his people who had accepted Islam at the time when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at Khaybar. Then he joined the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at Khaybar, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted them a share (of the spoils) along with the Muslims.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him): We said: "O Messenger of Allah, make us your right flank (of the army), and make our battle cry 'Ya Mabrur' (O you who have attained righteousness)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) did so, and to this day the battle cry of the entire tribe of Azd is 'Mabrur'. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, provided that it is not mursal. And Amr bin al-Tufayl bin Amr also lived in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Muhammad bin Umar said: The father of Amr bin al-Tufayl, al-Tufayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), remained with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away. Then, when the Arabs apostatised, he went out for jihad until the Muslims were done with (the trial of) Tulayhah (the Liar) and the entire land of Najd. Then he advanced with the Muslims towards al-Yamamah, and his son Amr bin al-Tufayl was with him. Amr bin al-Tufayl went out (onto the battlefield), was wounded and his hand was cut off. Then he recovered and his wound healed. Once he was sitting with Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) when food was brought, and he moved aside from the food (because of his severed hand). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What is the matter with you that you moved aside; is it because of your hand?" He said: "Yes." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, I will not taste it until I include your (severed) hand in it. By Allah, there is no one among all these people except you, part of whose body (a hand) has gone to Paradise before him." Then, during the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he went out with the Muslims to the Battle of Yarmuk and was martyred there.

Muhammad bin Umar said: Sa'd bin Ubayd bin al-Nu'man, who is called "Sa'd al-Qari" and whose kunyah was Abu Zayd, was one of the six people who compiled the Qur'an in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He took part in the battles of Badr, Uhud and the Trench, and in all the battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He was martyred on the day of the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah in the year 16 AH, at the age of 64.

It is narrated from Urwah: Utbah bin Ghazwan bin Jabir bin Wuhayb bin Nusayb bin Malik bin al-Harith bin Mazin bin Mansur bin Ikrimah bin Khasafah bin Qays Aylan bin Mudar bin Nizar (this is his full lineage).

Muhammad bin Umar narrates from his shaykhs, in mentioning Utbah bin Ghazwan (may Allah be pleased with him), that his kunyah was Abu Abdullah, and according to one view it was Abu Ghazwan. It is reported about him that he was a tall and handsome man. He was among those who accepted Islam early, and he made the second emigration to the land of Abyssinia. He was counted among the renowned archers of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and it was he who founded the city of Basrah. He passed away during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) at Ma'din Bani Sulaym, while he was on his way to Basrah as its governor on behalf of Sayyiduna Umar. Then his slave Suwayd came to Sayyiduna Umar with his belongings and his estate. Ibn Umar says that Utbah bin Ghazwan passed away in the year 15 AH, and according to one view in 17 AH, when he was 57 years old.
