He narrated from his own father, as well as from ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān, Abū al-Dardāʾ, and a number of other Companions.

Those who reported from him include his two sons— Ibrāhīm and Ismāʿīl—together with Abū Isḥāq al-Sabiʿī, Yūnus ibn Jubayr, Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid, and many others.

He transmitted a considerable body of knowledge. Later he joined the revolt against al-Ḥajjāj under Ibn al-Ashʿath; he was captured at Dayr al-Jamājim, and al-Ḥajjāj had him executed.

His narrations are found in the two Ṣaḥīḥs, as well as in the collections of al-Tirmidhī, al-Nasāʾī, and al-Qazwīnī.

It is said that he fled to al-Madāʾin, where many people rallied to him, after which he made his way to Basra.

He was killed in 82 AH.
