It is narrated concerning Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaynah (may Allah be pleased with him) that they were allies of Banu al-Muttalib. His mother was Buhaynah bint al-Harith bin al-Muttalib bin Abd Manaf, whom his father Malik, who belonged to the tribe of Azd Shanu'ah, had married; this is why he was called "Ibn Buhaynah". Among the Tabi'in, no narrator from him is known other than Abd al-Rahman bin Hurmuz al-A'raj. Among his narrations are the hadith of the prostration of forgetfulness (sajdah al-sahw), the hadith about keeping the arms apart from the sides in prostration, and the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) being cupped at the place called Lahy Jamal. However, Imam al-Baqir and Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman bin Thawban have also narrated from him.
