98 – Dīnār Abū Mikyas al-Ḥabashī al-Aswad* the long-lived.
He claimed to have been a client of Anas ibn Mālik and to have transmitted ḥadith from him.
Those who narrated from him include Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Barbarī, Aḥmad Ghulām Khalīl, ʿAbd Allah ibn Muḥammad ibn Nājiya, ʿĪsā ibn Yaʿqūb al-Zajjāj, and Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Qaṣṣāṣ—one of al-Ṭabarānī’s teachers—as well as others.
He is not considered trustworthy.
He died in 229 AH.
Ibn ʿAdī said in his Kāmil ⦗1⦘: “His narrations are objectionable and worthless; he is virtually unknown.”
I say: I am inclined to think he was a liar; he never met Anas at all.
