Biography of Jarayah ibn Qudamah
Jarir ibn Qudama al-Tamimi al-Sa'di, the uncle of al-Ahnaf ibn Qais, and it was said: the son of his uncle, as Ibn Mandah and Abu Nu'aym said, but Abu Nu'aym said: and it was said: he is not his uncle, nor his cousin, but his brother's brother, and this is more correct, because they only agree on Ka'b ibn Sa'd ibn Zayd Manat.
If he wanted to say: his cousin, then it might be possible, and he is: Jarir ibn Qudama ibn Malik ibn Zuhayr ibn Hisn, and it is said: Hisn ibn Razah, and it was said: Rayah ibn As'ad ibn Bujayr ibn Rabi'ah ibn Ka'b ibn Sa'd ibn Zayd Manat ibn Tamim al-Tamimi al-Sa'di, and he is known as: Abu Ayub and Abu Yazid, and he is counted among the people of Basra.
