Mention of al-Miswar bin Makhramah al-Zuhri (may Allah be pleased with him)

Khalifah bin Khayyat states that the mother of Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah bin Nawfal bin Uhayb bin Abd Manaf bin Zuhrah was Atikah bint Awf, who was the sister of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Ali bin al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) states that when they returned to Madinah from Yazid bin Mu'awiyah after the martyrdom of Sayyiduna al-Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both), Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) met him and said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering a sermon on his pulpit, and at that time I had reached puberty."
This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Khalifah bin Khayyat states that Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) died in Makkah in the year 64 AH, and it is said that he died at al-Hajun; he was in the Hijr (Hatim) in Makkah when a stone from a catapult struck him, and he died five days later. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) led his funeral prayer, and he was 68 years old at the time.

Muhammad bin Jarir states that Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) was born in Makkah two years after the Hijrah, and he died on the 1st of Rabi' al-Akhir in the year 64 AH. The report transmitted from Yahya bin Ma'in that he died in the year 73 AH is an incorrect view.

Umm Bakr bint al-Miswar bin Makhramah narrates from her father that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fed me dates on a tray that was not like these bazni trays of yours, and when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away I was eleven years old."
