and Makḥūl, Maymūn ibn Mihrān, Nāfiʿ—the freedman of Ibn ʿUmar—ʿAlī ibn Nufayl, and a number of others.
He even went so far as to transmit from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAmr al-Raqqī, who was younger than he. Al-Naḍr himself was not a prolific narrator, though he lived to an advanced age.
Among those who reported from him were: ʿAbdah ibn Sulaymān, Wakīʿ, Sufyān ibn Saʿīd al-Thawrī—who died before him—Abū Usāmah, al-Muṭṭalib ibn Ziyād, Yaḥyā ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Wuḥāẓī, ʿAbd al-Ghaffār ibn Dāwūd al-Ḥarrānī, ʿAmr ibn Khālid al-Ḥarrānī, Bishr ibn ʿUbays ibn Marḥūm the perfumer, Saʿīd ibn Ḥafṣ al-Nufaylī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Ḥajabī, al-Ḥasan ibn Sawwār, and many others, the last of them being Abū Jaʿfar ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad al-Nufaylī.
Khalīfah said, “Al-Naḍr ibn ʿArabī al-ʿĀmirī—some say he was the client of Ḥātim ibn al-Nuʿmān al-Bāhilī.” (1)
ʿAbbās, ʿUthmān al-Dāramī, and several others related from Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn that he declared him “trustworthy.”
ʿUthmān al-Dāramī also said, “There is no harm in him.”
Abū Ḥātim said, “There is no harm in him; he traced back a single hadith.” On another occasion he remarked, “His hadith is sound.” I suspect Abū Ḥātim meant that he erred in narrating one report, raising it, whereas the correct version is mawqūf (halted at a Companion).
Abū Zurʿah said, “Trustworthy.”
ʿUthmān al-Dāramī likewise said, “He is not all that remarkable.”
Al-Nasāʾī concluded, “There is no harm in him.”
