He seems to have had two main sources: [[Abu Mikhnaf]], whom he reports on the authority of his mentor `Umar b. Sa'd, and [[Jabir b. Yazid al-Ju'fi]], whom he reports through `Amr b. Shamir. Nasr b. Muzahim uses both of these sources in his monograph on the Battle of Siffin. If his full work had survived, we would have had a much fuller Shi’i version of the account, as Nasr was himself a Shi’i, and tended to favour the Shi’i tradition. | He seems to have had two main sources: [[Abu Mikhnaf]], whom he reports on the authority of his mentor `Umar b.
