and among those who transmitted from him were ʿAlqamah ibn Marthad, Muhārib ibn Dithār, Muḥammad ibn Juhādah, and others besides. He was a reliable narrator; he died in 105 AH at the age of ninety.

17 – ʿAdī ibn Artaʾah al-Fazārī, from Damascus
Governor of Basra under ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz.
He reported ḥadith from ʿAmr ibn ʿAbasah and Abū Umāmah;
those who narrated from him include Abū Salām Mamṭūr, Bakr al-Muzanī, Yazīd ibn Abī Maryam, and a number of others.

ʿAbbād ibn Manṣūr said, “ʿAdī delivered a sermon to us from the pulpit of al-Madāʾin until he wept, and he made us weep as well.”

Maʿmar said: ʿUmar wrote to ʿAdī ibn Artaʾah:
“You have deceived me with your black turban and your keeping company with the Qur’an-reciters, yet Allah has disclosed to us much of what you conceal. Do you not walk among the graves?!”

Shabbāb said: When ʿAdī arrived in Basra he shackled Yazīd ibn al-Muhallab and sent him on to ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz. After ʿUmar died, Yazīd escaped, called people to his own cause, adopted the title ‘al-Qaḥṭānī’, raised black banners, and declared, “I invite you to the way of ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb.”

Maslamah ibn ʿAbd al-Malik fought him and killed him; afterwards Yazīd’s son Muʿāwiyah rose up and executed ʿAdī and a group of his followers in 102 AH.

son of the Caliph of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Quḥāfah, the eminent Imām,
