Ibrahim al-Nakha'i

Abu Imran Ibrahim b. Yazid b. Qays b. al-Aswad al-Nakha'i of Kufa, the jurist of Iraq; he narrated from Alqama, Masruq, al-Aswad, and a group, and entered upon the Mother of the Believers A'isha, while Hammad b. Abi Sulayman the jurist, Simak b. Harb, al-Hakam b. Utayba, Ibn Awn, al-A'mash, Mansur, and many others took from him. ¹

He was among the sincere scholars; al-Mughira said "we used to fear Ibrahim as an emir is feared", al-A'mash said "I would see Ibrahim praying, then he would come to us and stay a while like a sick man", and he shunned fame and would not sit against the column. ²

Abu Nu'aym says al-Nakha'i died in 96 AH, Amr b. Ali says at the end of 95 AH, and other reports exist; he was one of the jurist imams of Kufa. ²
