Yazid ibn Haram

Yazid ibn Haram (may God be pleased with him), a man of the earliest community counted by the biographers among those who witnessed Badr; Ibn Hibban reports that he was killed there ¹.

Ibn Hajar writes in al-Isaba under "Yazid ibn Haram": Musa ibn Uqba, citing Ibn Shihab, counted him among those who witnessed Badr, and so did Ibn Ishaq ¹. Ibn Hibban said: he was martyred at Badr — he threw down dates that were in his hand and fought until he was killed ¹.

The Isaba entry does not give his full lineage; what Ibn Hajar transmits comes from the maghazi and tabaqat works: Musa ibn Uqba and Ibn Ishaq list him among the men of Badr, and Ibn Hibban's report pictures him fighting there after casting aside the dates in his hand, until he was killed ¹.

Yazid ibn Haram was one of the men of Badr who were killed in it; the biographical books say he threw away the dates in his hand so that he could fight until he fell.

• Al-Isaba fi tamyiz al-sahaba, entry 9328 (scan 20200217, p. 1586).
• The entry is short and gives no full lineage; distinguishing him from homonymous men rests on the Isaba's own ordering.
• Ibn Hibban's phrase "he threw down dates in his hand" is transmitted as it stands in the scan.
