3 – Abū al-ʿUmays al-Masʿūdī, ʿUtbah ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUtbah (ʿ),
grandson of the Companion of the Messenger of Allah, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd al-Hudhalī. He was a Kufan from the Masʿūdī clan and the brother of the hadith scholar al-Masʿūdī ʿAbd al-Raḥmān.

He related traditions from al-Shaʿbī, Ibn Abī Mulaykah, Qays ibn Muslim, ʿAwn ibn Abī Juḥayfah, and a number of others.

Transmitters who reported from him include Wakīʿ, Abū Usāmah, Jaʿfar ibn ʿAwn, Abū Nuʿaym, and many more.

Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal judged him trustworthy, and he was counted among the leading scholars.

ʿAbbās al-Dūrī said: “Jaʿfar ibn ʿAwn narrated to us; Abū al-ʿUmays narrated to us from al-Qāsim—meaning Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān—who said: ‘The Euphrates overflowed and brought a pomegranate the size of a camel. People began to say that it must have come from Paradise.’”

He died around 150 AH.

His narrations are found with an elevated chain in the collection entitled Juzʾ al-Jābirī (1).
