146 – Sulayman ibn Ḥabīb al-Muḥāribī (his reports are found in Bukhārī, Abū Dāwūd, and Ibn Mājah)
A native of Damascus, from the district of Darayyā; he was the judge of Damascus, Abū Ayyūb—though some said his kunya was Abū Thābit.

He transmitted from Abū Hurayrah, Muʿāwiyah, Abū Umāmah al-Bāhilī, and Aswad ibn Aṣram.

Those who narrated from him include Ayyūb ibn Mūsā Abū Kaʿb, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, al-Awzāʿī, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yazīd ibn Jābir, and others.

He was an eminent imam of high standing. Ibn Maʿīn and others declared him reliable. Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn said, “He held the judgeship of Damascus for thirty years.” Al-Nasāʾī remarked, “There is no problem with him.”

Abū Nuʿaym reported: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿUmar narrated to us from Sulayman ibn Ḥabīb, who said: ʽUmar ibn ʽAbd al-ʽAzīz told me, “Do not lighten for the foolish the burden of their oaths; therefore do not lighten for them matters of emancipation or divorce.”

Al-Wāqidī said he died in 126 AH.
