Among those who transmitted from him were: Abū Nuʿaym, Abū al-Walīd, ʿAlī ibn al-Jaʿd, Aḥmad ibn Yūnus, Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Uways, and others.

Abū Ḥātim and other critics declared him reliable. The compilers of the canonical collections relied on his reports, so no attention should be paid to the maxim, “Everyone named ʿĀṣim is weak.” He died in one of the years of the 160s AH.

As for his kinsman:

61 – ʿĀṣim ibn ʿUmar al-ʿUmari *
He was the brother of the ḥadith master ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar al-ʿUmari. He related traditions from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dīnār and others, and narrators such as Ibn Wahb, Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Uways, and a number of others transmitted from him. Aḥmad and other critics judged him weak, and Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn said, “He is nothing.” We mention him here only for the sake of distinction.

62 – ʿAbbād ibn Rāshid al-Baṣrī ** (D, S, Q)
A Basran, trustworthy and an authority. He narrated from al-Ḥasan, Qatādah, and Saʿīd ibn Abī Khayrah.
