and al-Marwazī, Abū Ṭaybah ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muslim, al-Awzāʿī, and others of their standing.
Those who reported from him include Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, Ibn Rāhwayh, Saʿīd al-Jarmī, Ziyād ibn Ayyūb, Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr Zunayj, al-Ḥasan ibn ʿArafah, and many more.
Yahyā ibn Maʿīn said: “Reliable.”
Aḥmad stated, “We wrote from him at the door of Hushaym; there is nothing objectionable about him—God willing.”
Abū Ḥātim erred when he claimed that al-Bukhārī had spoken against Abū Tumaylah.(1)
Abū l-Faraj Ibn al-Jawzī followed him in that.
I have not found Abū Tumaylah mentioned in al-Bukhārī’s work on weak narrators (al-Ḍuʿafāʾ), neither the large edition nor the abridged one.
Indeed, al-Bukhārī actually cited Abū Tumaylah as proof, and he was the traditionist of Marw alongside al-Faḍl ibn Mūsā al-Sīnānī.
He died in the early 190s AH.
60 – al-Walīd ibn Muslim Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Dimashqī * (ʿ)
