Question

What is the opinion of the Muhaddithun regarding the Hadith narrator, Harith ibn Muslim?

 

Answer

Imam Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) has declared him reliable and has also reported Hadith from him in his Sahih.

(Kitabuth Thiqat, vol. 5 pg. 391, Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 2022)

It should be noted that, there is a difference of opinion regarding this narrator’s name as well as his father’s name.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
