He is of the type whose narrations may still be tolerated, and his ḥadīths are written down.
Al-Dāraquṭnī said, “Weak.”
I say: A small collection of his reports has reached us—from Qatādah and others.
A dream attributed to Ḥamzah al-Zayyāt has been foisted upon Mujjaʿah, together with the claim that he heard it from him; this is pure fabrication.
73 – The Nephew of al-Zuhrī: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muslim * (ʿ)
The Imām, the scholar, the reliable transmitter: Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muslim ibn ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī, of Madinah.
He narrated copiously from his uncle, and also from his father.
Among those who reported from him are Maʿn ibn ʿĪsā, al-Wāqidī, Yaʿqūb ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿd, al-Qaʿnabī, and others.
Abū Dāwūd deemed him trustworthy, while Ibn Maʿīn said, “He is not strong.”
I add: He is the sole transmitter from his uncle of three ḥadīths that are regarded as unusual.
He possessed considerable wealth and property; his own son and household servants murdered him for his money. The servants were subsequently apprehended and executed for the crime. That occurred in 157 AH.
