ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr, Ḥuṣayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, and others.

ʿImrān ibn ʿUyayna relates from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr, from Ribʿī ibn Ḥirāsh, who said: “ʿUmar addressed us at al-Jābiya.” ⦗1⦘

Al-Kalbī ⦗2⦘ narrates that the Prophet ﷺ wrote to Ḥirāsh ibn Jaḥsh, and he tore up the letter. ⦗3⦘

Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī al-Sulamī said: “I saw Ribʿī ibn Ḥirāsh pass by a tax-collector while he was carrying some money. He placed it on the pommel of his saddle, covered it, and went on his way.” ⦗4⦘

Al-Aṣmaʿī said: “A man came to al-Ḥajjāj and said, ‘They claim that Ribʿī ibn Ḥirāsh never lies, yet his two sons have returned as rebels.’ So al-Ḥajjāj summoned him and asked, ‘What has become of your two sons?’ He replied, ‘They are at home—and Allah is the One whose help is sought.’ Al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf then said to him, ‘They are pardoned for your sake,’ being impressed by his honesty.” ⦗5⦘

It was also transmitted by al-Thawrī from Manṣūr, who added: “They asked, ‘Whom did you mention, Abū Sufyān?’ He replied, ‘I mentioned Ribʿī. Do you know who Ribʿī is? He was from the tribe of Ashjaʿ, and his people maintain that he never told a lie.’” ⦗5⦘

Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿIjlī said: “Ribʿī is reliable.”

Ibn Khirāsh said: “He is truthful.”
