Question
I would like to know the status of the Hadith narrator Razin ibn ‘Uqbah.
Answer
Razin ibn ‘Uqbah has been declared unknown [majhul].
(Refer: Mizanul I’tidal, vol. 2 pg. 47, number: 2656 and Taqribut Tahdhib: 1941)
His narrations will therefore be deemed weak unless more information about him comes to light.
Note: The above is merely an answer to the question provided. One who is unqualified, should not seek to apply this and/or draw conclusions on related issues independently.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
