Among Abū Yūsuf's particular companions was Abū al-Walīd Bishr ibn al-Walīd al-Kindī. He held judicial office in Madīnat al-Salām for al-Maʾmūn. He was hostile toward Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan and turned against him. Al-Ḥasan ibn Abī Mālik would forbid him to do so, saying, “Muḥammad has produced these books; you produce even a single legal question!”
