Al-Bukhārī, Abū Dāwūd, and several others noted that he heard from his grandfather, from Ibn ʿAbbās, and from Ibn ʿUmar.
We do not know the year of his death; most likely he passed away sometime after 80 AH, during the reign of ʿAbd al-Malik.

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Walīd al-Azraqī said: “ʿAbd al-Majīd (2) ibn Abī …”
