He also transmitted from his father, Abū Kabshah al-Saksakī, and from Marwān ibn al-Ḥakam.
Those who reported from him include: Muʿāwiyah ibn Qurrah, al-Ḥakam, Abū Bishr, and Ibrāhīm al-Saksakī.

He was the leading figure of the Sakāsik clan, served as chief of police under ʿAbd al-Malik, was placed in command of the expeditionary forces, and was later appointed by al-Walīd as governor of the two Iraqi provinces. When Sulaymān became caliph he entrusted him with the land-tax of Sind, whereupon his rank declined somewhat, and death overtook him there before the year 100 AH.

We have come across one of his narrations in the “Chapter on Forgetfulness” (Kitāb al-Sahw) in Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn’s recension. It is also reported that he would fast while travelling, that he governed the two Iraqs after al-Ḥajjāj, that he was a man of great standing—may Allah have mercy on him—and that he rarely narrated.

He is mentioned under the topic of fasting in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī.
