Ḥammād ibn Zayd, on the authority of Ibn ʿAwn, said: “I once sat with Ibrāhīm, and of all that has been said about the Murjiʾah I have never heard anything better than his remark.” Numerous reports are transmitted from him condemning irjāʾ. (1)

Saʿīd ibn Jubayr exclaimed, “Do you ask me for a legal verdict while Ibrāhīm is among you?!” (2)

Al-Ḥākim said: “Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī used to perform the pilgrimage with his uncle and his maternal uncle—ʿAlqamah and al-Aswad. He detested the Murjiʾah and would say, ‘With regard to this ummah, I fear the Murjiʾah for them more than I fear an equal number of the Azāriqah.’” (3)

He died at the age of forty-nine.

Ḥammād ibn Zayd reported: “Shuʿayb ibn al-Ḥabḥāb told us, and Hunaidah—the wife of Ibrāhīm—told me that Ibrāhīm used to fast one day and break the fast the next.” (4)

Saʿīd ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Ashajj narrated, from Ḥakīm ibn Jubayr, from Ibrāhīm, who said: “There is no ʿarīf (local tax registrar) in that place except that he is a disbeliever.” (5)

ʿAffān narrated: Yaʿqūb ibn Isḥāq narrated to us, Ibn ʿAwn narrated: “Ibrāhīm used to visit the ruler and request stipends.” (6)

Muḥammad ibn Rabīʿah al-Kilābī reported, on the authority of al-ʿAlāʾ ibn Zuhayr: “Ibrāhīm came to my father while he was governor of Hulwān. My father seated him on a mule, clothed him in garments, and gave him one thousand dirhams, and he accepted it.” (6)
