He was an imam, a mujtahid, and the judge of Kūfa—Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Kūfī, the paternal uncle of the jurist al-Qāsim ibn Maʿn.

He was born in the early years of the caliphate of Muʿāwiyah.

He transmitted reports from his father, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, Jābir ibn Samurah, Masrūq, and a number of others.

Those who narrated from him include al-Aʿmash, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā, al-Masʿūdī, Misʿar ibn Kidām, and many more.

Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn and others declared him reliable, while Ibn al-Madīnī said, “He did not meet Ibn ʿUmar.”

Al-Aʿmash related, “I used to sit with him while he was serving as judge.”

Muḥārib ibn Dithār said, “We accompanied him to Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem); he surpassed us in abundant prayer, prolonged silence, and generosity.”

I (al-Dhahabī) say: He never accepted any stipend for his judgeship; his needs were already met.

Ibn ʿUyaynah recounted: I asked Misʿar, “Of all the people you have seen, who was the most cautious concerning hadith?” He replied, “Al-Qāsim ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān.”

Ibn Qāniʿ said that he died in 116 AH.
