He also narrated from Abū al-Tufayl, al-Shaʿbī, al-Qāsim ibn Mukhaymara, and his maternal uncle ʿAbdah ibn Abī Lubābah. Those who transmitted from him include his nephew Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī al-Juʿfī, Zuhayr ibn Muʿāwiyah, Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ruʾāsī, and many others. Ibn Maʿīn graded him reliable.

Zuhayr said, “My father borrowed a thousand from al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥurr. When he later sent the money back, al-Ḥasan returned it and said, ‘Buy sugar for Zuhayr with it.’ ”

Ḥusayn al-Juʿfī related: “Whenever al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥurr passed by a man selling salt, or someone whose entire capital was about two dirhams, he would give him five, saying, ‘Let this be your capital’; and another five, saying, ‘Buy flour and dates with this’; and yet another five, saying, ‘Buy cotton for your wife.’ ”

Muḥriz ibn Ḥurayth reported that al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥurr wrote to ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz: “I used to distribute my zakah myself, but now that you have assumed leadership I thought it proper to consult you.” ʿUmar replied, “Send it to us and list for us the names of your brothers, so that we may provide for them on your behalf.”

Al-ʿIjli said, “He possessed great wealth, was generous, and devout.” Al-Awzāʿī remarked, “No one ever came to us from Iraq like al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥurr and ʿAbdah ibn Abī Lubābah; the two were business partners.” Al-Ḥākim judged him “reliable and trustworthy.”

He is sometimes ascribed to his grandfather and called “al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥakam.” Ibn Saʿd said, “He was a client (mawlā) of Banū aṣ-Ṣaydāʾ, a clan of Banū Asad.” He died in 133 AH.
