What is the meaning of "نسيب السدي" (Scribe of al-Suddi) and "رمي بالرفض" (accused of Rafd) in the biography of Isma'il ibn Musa, and what is the meaning of "وآخره هاء" (and its end is a ha') in the biography of Yahya ibn Ya'la, and can the rounded ta' be called a ha'? And why was "ثقة" (trustworthy) mentioned for Ma'bad ibn Ka'b in the books, while "مقبول" (acceptable) was mentioned in al-Taqrib? And is the correct form "الخارفي" (al-Kharifi) or "الخارقي" (al-Khariqi) in the biography of Mutarrif ibn Tarif? And who is meant by "فلان وفلان" (so-and-so and so-and-so) in the hadith of al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam: "كما أسمع ابن مسعود، وفلانًا وفلانًا" (as I heard Ibn Mas'ud, and so-and-so and so-and-so)?
The meaning of al-nasīb is a close relative. "To be accused of rejectionism" (al-ramī bi al-rafḍ) means to be accused of being a Rāfiḍī (a member of the Rāfiḍī Shīʿī sect). The tāʾ marbūṭah may be called "the hāʾ of feminization" as found in language books. Maʿbad ibn Kaʿb was declared trustworthy by Al-ʿIjlī, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ibn Saʿd, and Al-Mizzī, and his trustworthiness is evidenced by the narration of the two Shaykhs from him. Muṭarrif ibn Muṭarrif is Al-Khārifī or Al-Ḥārithī.
