143 – Abū Yūnus Sulaym ibn Jubayr * (M, D, T)
He was the freedman of Abū Hurayrah; his given name was Sulaym ibn Jubayr.
He narrated from his master Abū Hurayrah, from Abū Usayd al-Sāʿidī, and from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī.
Transmitters from him include ʿAmr ibn al-Ḥārith, Ḥaywah ibn Shurayḥ, al-Layth, and Ibn Lahīʿah.
Al-Nasāʾī declared him trustworthy.
His father had been a mukātab (a slave under a manumission contract) with Abū Hurayrah. When he failed to pay the required sum, he reverted to slavery. Later his master presented him—and his son Abū Yūnus—before Maslamah ibn Makhlad, who interceded for them. Abū Hurayrah then freed them both, and they took up residence in Egypt.
Abū Yūnus died in 123 AH.
