Aḥmad said, “Thawr espoused the Qadarite view, yet there is no problem in his reliability.”

ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Mūsā related that Sufyān said, “Beware of Thawr, lest he gore you with his horn.”

Abū Zurʿah has transmitted from Munabbih ibn ʿUthmān that a man once said to Thawr, “You Qadarite!” Thawr replied, “If I am as you claim, then I am indeed a wicked man; but if I am not, I pardon you.”

Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh said, “Asad ibn Wadāʿah banished Thawr,” and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sālim added, “They expelled him and burned his house because of his discourse on qadar (divine decree).”

Ibn Saʿd and Khalīfah stated that Thawr died in the year 153 AH. Yaḥyā ibn Bukayr said it was in 155 AH. Ibn Saʿd also noted that he passed away in Jerusalem.
