Yahya bin Bukayr said: "Shurahbil Ibn Hasanah, and he is Shurahbil Ibn Hasanah bin Abdullah bin al-Muta' bin Amr, and he is a man of the tribe of al-Ghawth." And Ibn al-Kalbi said: "Shurahbil bin Abdullah bin al-Muta' bin Abdullah bin al-Ghitrif bin Abd al-Uzza bin Jaththamah bin Malik bin Baladim bin Malik bin Duhm bin Sa'd bin Yashkur bin Minshar bin al-Ghawth bin Murr, the brother of Tamim bin Murr; and it is said that he was from the tribe of Kindah."

In the narration of al-Harith bin Amirah (may Allah have mercy on him): "Abu Ubaydah, Shurahbil Ibn Hasanah and Abu Malik (may Allah be pleased with them) were all stricken by the plague on one and the same day."
