, al-Karabisi, Yusuf al-Qadi, Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn ʿAli al-Marwazi, Abu al-Qasim al-Baghawi, Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn ʿAmr al-Bazzar, al-Hasan ibn ʿAli al-Maʿmari (1), and a great many others.
Among them are: Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Ubulli the perfumer, Asad ibn ʿAmmar al-Tamimi, al-Husayn ibn Muʿadh ibn Harb al-Akhfash, Abu al-Hasan Saʿid ibn al-Ashʿath—brother of Abu Dawud al-Sijistani—Sulayman ibn al-Hasan, the nephew of Hajjaj ibn Minhal, Sayyar ibn Nasr, al-Fadl ibn Muhammad al-Tabari, Qasim ibn al-ʿAbbas al-Maʿshari, Muhammad ibn ʿAli ibn Ruh, Muhammad ibn al-Fadl ibn Musa al-Qustani (2), Muhammad ibn Maʿdan al-Qutfi, Muhammad ibn Nasih al-Sarraj, Muhammad ibn Yahya al-ʿAmmi, Muhammad ibn Yaʿqub al-Karabisi, Musabbih ibn Hatim, and al-Haytham ibn Bishr. I have named these for the benefit of the reader, although none of them became well-known after al-Maʿmari.
ʿAli ibn al-Junayd reported from Yahya ibn Maʿin: “Reliable.”
Abu Hatim said: “Trustworthy (ṣadūq).”
Both of the Shaykhs relied upon him, and I do not know the basis for al-Nasaʾi’s remark that “he is weak.”
Ibn ʿAdi was rather cool in his treatment of him in al-Kāmil, but he then offered an apology, saying:
“I found no need to cite any of his narrations, for I do not know of a single objectionable hadith among what he transmits, and he relates abundantly. The scholars have deemed him reliable; he is truthful and unobjectionable.”
Ibn Hibban likewise listed him in al-Thiqat.
ʿAbdan said: “I heard ʿAbbas ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzim say, ‘These are the books of Umayyah ibn Khalid’—meaning the texts from which Hudbah transmits.”
