It is narrated from Ahmad bin Ya'qub al-Thaqafi; he said: Musa bin Zakariyya narrated to us; he said that Khalifah bin Khayyat said: The name of Abu Umamah is Sudayy bin Ajlan bin Wahb bin Arib bin Wahb bin Rabah bin al-Harith bin Wahb bin Ma'n bin Malik bin A'sur bin Sa'd bin Qays Aylan bin Mudar; he settled in Syria. Khalifah said: His lineage was stated by Abd al-Malik bin Qurayb al-Asma'i, who said: Bahilah is in fact the wife of Ma'n bin Malik bin A'sur bin Sa'd bin Qays Aylan; her children are attributed to her, and she is Bahilah bint Sa'd al-Ashirah bin Malik bin Udad bin Yashjub bin Ya'rub bin Qahtan. Shabab bin Khayyat said: Abu Umamah died in the year 86 AH.
