Nothing much is known about his biography. The early Islamic scholar Abu Nu'aym al-Isfahani mentions Jaban in Ma`rifat al-Sahâba wa Fadâ'ilihim.[5] Jābān's status as a companion is also mentioned twice in Ibn al-Athir's book Usd al-ghabah fi marifat al-Saḥabah.[6] He was also known to have narrated 10 prophetic ahadith according to Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in the book Al-Isabah fi tamyiz al Sahabah.[7] The book Takmilah al-Ikmal by Ibn Nuqtah also mentions him.
