al-Harith ibn Suwayd, Anas ibn Malik, ʿAmr ibn Maymun al-Awdi, and a number of others.
He also transmitted mursal reports from ʿAʾisha.
Among those who narrated from him were al-Aʿmash, Muslim al-Batin, Bayan ibn Bishr, Yunus ibn ʿUbayd, and many more.
He was a young man—upright, devout toward Allah, learned, a jurist of great stature, and an eloquent exhorter.
Al-Muharibi related: al-Aʿmash told us that Ibrahim al-Taymi said to me, “For the last forty nights I have eaten nothing but a single grape.”
Abu Usamah said: I heard al-Aʿmash say that Ibrahim al-Taymi remarked, “It sometimes happens that a whole month passes over me without my eating food or drinking a drink—see that no one hears this from you.”
Al-Aʿmash also said, “When Ibrahim al-Taymi went into prostration, he was like the stump of a wall; small birds would settle on his back.”
Some maintained that al-Hajjaj killed him; others said he died in his prison in the year 92 AH, while a third opinion places his death in 94 AH.
Ibrahim did not reach forty years of age.
Al-Thawri narrated that Ibrahim al-Taymi said, “How far you are from those early people! When the world advanced toward them, they fled from it; when it turned its back on you, you pursued it.”
Abu Hayyan reported from Ibrahim that he said, “Whenever I measure my words against my deeds, I fear I may be a liar.”
Al-ʿAwwam ibn Hawshab said, “I never saw Ibrahim al-Taymi raise his gaze toward the sky.”
And Ibrahim said, “A man may wrong me, yet I still feel compassion for him.”
