Summary
Yazid ibn al-Harith (may God be pleased with him) ibn Qays ibn Malik ibn Ahmar ibn Haritha ibn Tha'laba ibn Ka'b ibn al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj, known as Ibn Fashm, al-Ansari al-Khazraji, counted by the sira authorities among those who witnessed Badr 1.
His entry in al-Isaba
Ibn Hajar writes in al-Isaba: Yazid ibn al-Harith ibn Qays ibn Malik ibn Ahmar ibn Haritha ibn Tha'laba ibn Ka'b ibn al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj — known as Ibn Fashm — al-Ansari al-Khazraji: Musa ibn Uqba, citing Ibn Shihab, counted him among those who witnessed Badr, and so did Ibn Ishaq 1.
His mother Fashm and his pairing
Ibn Hisham and Ibn al-Kalbi said that Fashm was the name of his mother, a woman of Banu Qayn; Ibn Abd al-Barr related that it was his own nickname, and it is said that the Prophet ﷺ paired him in brotherhood with Dhu'l-Shimalayn 1.
For younger visitors
Yazid ibn al-Harith, known as Ibn Fashm, was a Khazraji Companion of Badr; he was known by his mother's name, and the books say the Prophet paired him in brotherhood with a man called Dhu'l-Shimalayn.
Notes for researchers
- Al-Isaba fi tamyiz al-sahaba, entry 9323 (scan 20200217, p. 1586).
- Al-Isaba distinguishes him from Yazid ibn al-Harith al-Shaybani, who follows him in the ordering.
- The draft card's claim that he was killed at Badr needs an independent source; the Isaba text here does not state his death.
