110 – Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Zuhrī (ʿA)
He was the full brother of the foregoing biographee, and their maternal uncle was ʿUthmān, for he and Umm Kulthūm shared the same mother.
He narrated from both of his parents, as well as from his uncle ʿUthmān, Saʿīd ibn Zayd, Abū Hurayrah, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbbās, and a number of others.
Among those who transmitted from him were Saʿd ibn Ibrāhīm the judge, Ibn Abī Mulaykah, al-Zuhrī, Ṣafwān ibn Sulaym, Qatādah, and many others.
Some claimed that he met ʿUmar, but that is not sound; rather, he was born during ʿUmar’s caliphate.
He was a jurist, distinguished and noble.
Abū Zurʿah al-Rāzī declared him trustworthy.
He died in 95 AH, and anyone who says he died in 105 AH is mistaken (1).
111 – Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥimyarī (ʿA)

His death occurred close to that of his namesake, Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Zuhrī.
He also narrated from Saʿd ibn Hishām and the sons of Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ.
