Samura died in AH 58 or 59 (677–679 CE). His death in Basra was attributed to a severe frost by the 9th-century historian Umar ibn Shabba. His kunya was Abu Sa'd or Abu Sulayman. Like his father, Samura's son Sa'd or Sa'id also transmitted hadith. His daughter Umm Thabit was wed to Mukhtar al-Thaqafi, who took over Kufa and ruled in the name of Caliph Ali's family during the Second Muslim Civil War (680–692). Samura's great-grandson Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Habib ibn Sulayman (d. 777) was a prominent astronomer and the first Muslim to construct an astrolabe.
