Kharāsh is uniformly written with khāʾ—the dotted letter—save for the father of Ribʿī, whose name uses ḥāʾ.

Ḥuṣayn is everywhere vocalised with ḍamma and spelt with ṣād, the undotted consonant, except in two cases: Abū Ḥaṣīn ʿUthmān ibn ʿĀṣim, whose name takes fatḥa, and Abū Sāsān Ḥuḍayn ibn al-Mundhir, who retains the ḍamma but is written with ḍād, the dotted letter.

Ḥāzim is written with ḥāʾ, the undotted consonant, except for Abū Muʿāwiyah Muḥammad ibn Khāzim, whose name employs khāʾ, the dotted one.

Ḥayān is in every instance written with yāʾ—the letter that bears two dots—apart from the following names, which are written with bāʾ, the single-dotted letter.
a) Read with fatḥa on the ḥāʾ: Ḥabbān ibn Munqidh—the father of Wāsiʿ ibn Ḥabbān and the grandfather of Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ḥabbān—as well as the ancestor of Ḥabbān ibn Wāsiʿ ibn Ḥabbān; and Ḥabbān ibn Hilāl, cited with or without his nisbah, who relates from Shuʿbah, Wahīb, Hammām and others.
b) Read with kasrah on the ḥāʾ: Ḥibbān ibn ʿAṭiyyah and Ḥibbān ibn Mūsā—again, whether their nisbah is mentioned or not—who both transmit from ʿAbd Allāh, i.e. Ibn al-Mubārak; and Ḥibbān ibn al-ʿArqah.

Ḥabīb is everywhere read with fatḥa on the undotted ḥāʾ, save for Khubayb ibn ʿAdī; Khubayb ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Khubayb, mentioned without a nisbah and transmitting from Ḥafṣ ibn ʿĀṣim; and Abū Khubayb—the teknonym of Ibn al-Zubayr—all of whom are read with ḍamma on the dotted letter khāʾ.

Ḥakīm is normally pronounced with fatḥa on the ḥāʾ; the two exceptions—Ḥukaym ibn ʿAbd Allāh and Ruzayq ibn Ḥukaym—take ḍamma.

Rabāḥ is always written with bāʾ (one dot) except for Ziyād ibn Riyāḥ, a transmitter from Abū Hurayrah on the portents of the Hour, whose name is spelt with yāʾ (two dots) according to most authorities, while al-Bukhārī allows both forms.

In the two Ṣaḥīḥs the only bearer of the name Zubayd is Zubayd ibn al-Ḥārith, written with bāʾ followed by yāʾ. In the Muwaṭṭaʾ the sole occurrence is Zibīd (also read Zubīd) ibn al-Ṣalt, whose name contains two successive double-dotted letters; its initial zāy is read with kasrah, though a reading with ḍamma is also reported.

Sulaym is everywhere read with ḍamma, save for the reading of Ibn Ḥibbān, who vocalises it with fatḥa.

Sālim is always written with alif, except for Salm ibn Zurayr, Ibn Qutaybah, Ibn Abī al-Dhiyāl, and Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, whose names omit it.
