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.

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.
