Those who narrated from him include Zayd ibn Aslam, Ṣafwān ibn Sulaym, ʿAmrū ibn Dīnār, Hilāl ibn ʿAlī, and Sharīk ibn Abī Namir.
ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Zayd ibn Aslam related that Abū Ḥāzim said,
“I never saw a man more attached to the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than ʿAṭāʾ ibn Yasār.”
Abū Dāwūd said: ʿAṭāʾ heard hadith from Ibn Masʿūd.
It is said that he died in the year 103 AH.
Another report states that he passed away before 100 AH—and Allah knows best.
