and others.

Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn declared him trustworthy.

Al-Aʿmash narrated—from ʿUmāra ibn ʿUmayr—from Abū Maʿmar—that Abū Maʿmar, when relating a report, would purposely repeat the grammatical slip he had heard in it, out of deference to his source (1).

It is said that Abū Maʿmar was born during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ.

Ibn Saʿd (2) stated: “He was reliable and possessed a number of narrations.”

Our scholars report that he died in Kūfa during the governorship of ʿUbayd Allah ibn Ziyād.

I say: That took place under the rule of Yazīd, in the early sixties AH.

41 – ʿUmar ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib al-Hāshimī

He narrated from his father, while his own son Muḥammad transmitted from him.

He lived long enough to appear before al-Walīd, seeking to be placed in charge of his father’s charitable estate.

He was born in the days of ʿUmar, who named him after himself and gave him a slave boy called Murriq.

Al-ʿIjlī said: “A Successor, reliable.”

Muṣʿab al-Zubayrī (3) related: “Al-Walīd refused to hand over ʿAlī’s charity to him, saying, ‘I will not entrust the family of Fāṭimah to anyone outside of them’—the estate then being managed by al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī. ʿUmar left in anger and would accept no stipend from al-Walīd.

“It is also said that ʿUmar was killed alongside Muṣʿab ibn al-Zubayr, but this is unsound; the one killed was actually his brother ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿAlī.”
