Muhayriz, ʿAmr ibn Sulaym al-Zuraqī, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Aʿraj, and his uncle, Wāsiʿ ibn Ḥabbān.
Those who narrated from him were Rabīʿah al-Raʾy, ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, Muḥammad ibn ʿAjlān, ʿAmr ibn Yaḥyā al-Māzinī, Mālik, Ibn Isḥāq, al-Layth, and a host of others.
He was an Imām upon whose reliability there is unanimous agreement.
Al-Wāqidī said, “He held a circle for issuing legal verdicts; he was trustworthy, prolific in ḥadīth, and lived seventy-four years.”
I (the author) say: a number of scholars dated his death to 121 AH. He was one of the distinguished teachers of Mālik—may Allah have mercy on him.
67 – Ibn Mawhab, ʿUthmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Taymī * (Kh, M, T, S, Q)
The Imām Abū ʿAbd Allāh ʿUthmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mawhab al-Taymī, al-Madani, nicknamed al-Aʿraj.
He later settled in Iraq.
He narrated from: Abū Hurayrah, Umm Salamah, Jābir ibn Samurah, Ibn ʿUmar, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Qatādah.
Among those who transmitted from him are Abū Ḥanīfah, Shuʿbah, Sufyān, Isrāʾīl, Shaybān, Abū ʿAwānah, and many others.
Ibn Maʿīn and other authorities judged him reliable.
He died sometime after 120 AH.
Ibn Saʿd was mistaken; he advanced an untenable claim when he said that the shaykh died during the caliphate of al-Mahdī in 160 AH.
