Among those who reported from him are al-Zuhrī—who was older than he—Ibn Jurayj, Ibn Isḥāq, Mālik, Fulayḥ ibn Sulaymān, Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah, and many others.
Mālik said, “He was a truthful man and narrated abundantly.”
Ibn Saʿd said, “He was reliable, learned, and prolific in ḥadīth.”
He lived seventy years. It is said that he died in 135 AH; others say he passed away in 130 AH. He had brothers and other relatives who were scholars as well.
152 – Jabalah ibn Suḥaym al-Taymī (ʿ)—some say al-Shaybānī—was counted among the trustworthy Successors of Kūfa. He narrated from Muʿāwiyah, Ibn ʿUmar, ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Zubayr, Ḥanẓalah (a Companion), and several others.
Those who transmitted from him include Abū Isḥāq al-Shaybānī, Ḥajjāj ibn Arṭāʾ, Shuʿbah, al-Thawrī, Qays ibn al-Rabīʿ, and others.
Yahyā al-Qaṭṭān and Ibn Maʿīn declared him reliable, and Khalīfah said he died in 125 AH. Shuʿbah and Sufyān likewise considered him trustworthy. About twenty ḥadīths are traced back to him, and the same number is attributed to his contemporary Ādam ibn ʿAlī.
