132 – Ayman ibn Nābil, Abū ʿImrān al-Ḥabashī (B, T, S, Q)
A hadith scholar, trustworthy and exceptionally long-lived. He was Abū ʿImrān al-Ḥabashī, a blind, tall man who lived in Mecca, one of the clients of the family of Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq and among the younger Successors.
He narrated from Qudāmah ibn ʿAbd Allāh—who possessed a measure of Companionship (1)—and from Ṭāwūs, al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad, Abū al-Zubayr al-Makkī and others.
Those who transmitted from him include Sufyān al-Thawrī, Muʿtamir ibn Sulaymān, Wakīʿ, Abū Dāwūd, Abū ʿĀṣim, ʿAbd al-Razzāq and many more.
Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn held a favourable opinion of him.
Al-Dāraqutnī said, “He is not strong.”
Ibn ʿAdī said, “I hope there is nothing wrong with him.”
Ibn Ḥibbān remarked, “He is not to be cited as proof when he is the sole reporter.”
