Thabit ibn Aqram

Thabit ibn Aqram al-Ansari, son of Tha'laba ibn Adi ibn al-Ajlan. He took part at Badr, and he carried the banner at Mu'ta after Ibn Rawaha ¹.

Ibn Lahi'a reports, from Abu al-Aswad, from Urwa, the naming of those of the Ansar who took part at Badr: "Thabit ibn Aqram (may God be pleased with him) ibn Tha'laba ibn Adi ibn al-Ajlan". Musa ibn Uqba, from Ibn Shihab, mentions him among those of the Banu al-Ajlan who took part at Badr ¹.

Abu al-Yusr reports that when the banner was handed to Ibn Rawaha and he was struck, he handed it to Thabit ibn Aqram, and Thabit handed it to someone else ¹.

Ibn Lahi'a reports, from Urwa, that the Prophet ﷺ sent an expedition toward al-Ghamra in Najd, whose commander was Thabit ibn Aqram, and that he was struck in it ¹.

• The report of the expedition to Najd in which Thabit was struck comes from Urwa through Ibn Lahi'a, who is criticised by the hadith scholars. The second source should be consulted before reliance.
• The name in the first report is "Aqram ibn Tha'laba" and in the second "ibn Tha'laba"; this matches the text.
