He fought in the campaigns conducted during Muʿāwiyah’s rule.

Those who presented their Qur’an recitation to him included ʿAlī ibn Abī Ḥamlah, al-Ḥasan ibn ʿImrān, and Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz.

Among those who narrated from him were his son Saʿd, Abū Bakr ibn Abī Maryam, ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-ʿAlāʾ ibn Zabr, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yazīd ibn Jābir, and others.

Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz said, “In ʿAṭiyyah’s gathering we would not even dream of opening a discussion about worldly matters.”

Abū al-Qāsim Ibn ʿAsākir remarked, “He owned a house to the south of a Jewish synagogue.”

He served as the army’s chief Qur’an reciter, and he was older than Ibn ʿĀmir.

He died in 121 AH; another report places his death in 110 AH, and some claimed that he was a native of Ḥimṣ.

Walīd ibn Muslim related, “I mentioned ʿAṭiyyah’s longevity to Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, and he said, ‘I heard him mention that he was among those who took part in the expedition against Constantinople during Muʿāwiyah’s time.’”

Duḥaym said, “He and Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUbayd Allāh were the two horsemen of the army.”

ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Qays stated, “They would revise their codices to match the reading of ʿAṭiyyah ibn Qays while seated on the steps of the synagogue.”

Abū Mushir said, “He was born in 7 AH and died in 110 AH.” A group likewise reported from Abū Mushir that he died in 121 AH.
