Yahyā ibn Maʿīn and al-Nasāʾī likewise said, “Reliable.”
Zuhayr ibn Muʿāwiyah related—on the authority of Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah—that he said:
“Kurayb deposited with us a camel-load, or perhaps a saddle-load, of the books of Ibn ʿAbbās. Whenever ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbbās wanted to write something, he would send word to him, ‘Send me the scroll such-and-such.’ Kurayb would copy it out and send him one of the two copies.”⦗2⦘
Al-Wāqidī, al-Madāʾinī, Khalīfah, and a number of others said that he died in 98 AH.
His two sons, Muḥammad and Rashdīn, also narrated from him.
