• ʿAbd Allah ibn Kaʿb ibn ʿAmr al-Māzinī al-Anṣārī, one of the veterans of Badr. On the day of Badr he was in charge of the khums (the one-fifth share of the spoils). His teknonym was Abū al-Ḥārith, though some said Abū Yaḥyā. ʿUthmān led his funeral prayer. He was the brother of Abū Laylā al-Māzinī.

• Muʿammar ibn Abī Sarḥ ibn Rabīʿah ibn Hilāl al-Qurashī, Abū Saʿd al-Fihrī; some—and Ibn Isḥāq is among them—listed his name as ʿAmr. He was a Companion who had fought at Badr.

• Masʿūd ibn Rabīʿah—others say Ibn al-Rabīʿ—Abū ʿUmayr al-Qārī, of the clan of al-Qarārah, allies of Banū Zuhrah. He was present at Badr and other engagements, and lived a little over sixty years, as noted earlier.

Year 31 AH:

Abū ʿAbd Allah al-Ḥākim said: “All of our teachers agree that Nishapur was opened by treaty, and that its conquest occurred in the year 31.” He then narrated, with his chain, from Muṣʿab ibn Abī al-Zahrāʾ that Kinār, the ruler of Nishapur, wrote to Saʿīd ibn al-ʿĀṣ, governor of Kūfa, and to ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿĀmir, governor of Basra, inviting them to Khurasan and informing them that the people of Marw had killed Yazdgerd. Saʿīd ibn al-ʿĀṣ therefore enlisted al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī and ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Zubayr for the expedition. ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿĀmir approached a dehqān and asked, “What will you give me if I outpace them with you?” He replied, “Your land tax and the land tax of your entire household shall be remitted until the Day of Resurrection.” So Ibn ʿĀmir took him by way of Qūmis and hastened on until he encamped before Nishapur,
