Note 43 — Chapter X
David Shea translation
Abulfeda (I. p. 261) mentions Abdalla, son of Sâd, son of Abu Sarh, Amerite, a foster-brother of Osman (ibid., p. 154). Elmacin (loco cit., p. 39) calls him Abdalla, son of Sáid, son of Abu Jerh, who had been a writer of revelations, and who, because he had apostatised from Islamism, would have been put to death by the prophet, after the taking of Mecca, in the eighth year of the Hejira (A. D. 629), if Osman had not interceded for him.
