==Name and Teknonym==
Ibn Sa'd has cited Abu Barza's son as referring to him as 'Abd Allah b. Nadla, and Khalifa b. Khayyat has referred to him as Nadla b. 'Abd Allah. However, most sources have agreed over Nadla b. 'Ubayd, although there are other variations of his name as well.

'Ubayd,<ref>Bukhārī, ''Tārīkh al-ṣaghīr'', vol. 1, p. 157, 166; Abūzarʿa Dimashqī, ''Tārīkh'', vol. 1, p. 447.</ref> although there are other variations of his name as well.<ref>Ibn al-Athīr, ''Usd al-ghāba'', vol. 5, p. 146-147; Dhahabī, ''Tārīkh'', vol. 2, p. 238; ʿAbd al-Ghānī.

According to some people, he was called Nadla b. Nayyar before the emergence of Islam, and since "Nayyar" meant Satan, the Prophet (s) called him Nadla b. 'Abd Allah. There is no disagreement about his [[Teknonym]], Abu Barza, except for [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] who referred to him under the companions of the Prophet (s) as Abu Barda, and under the companions of 'Ali (a) as Abu Barza, which seems to be a mistake. It is said that among the companions of the Prophet (s) he was the only person with the Teknonym, Abu Barza.
