Question

Is Thumamah ibn ‘Uqbah a reliable narrator of Hadith? I have read that Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) reported his Hadith in Al Adabul Mufrad and Imam Nasai (rahimahullah) has classified him as trustworthy. Is this true?

 

Answer

Yes, this is correct.

Imams Yahya ibn Mai’n and Nasai (rahimahumallah) have declared Thumamah ibn ‘Uqbah Al Muhallimi reliable (thiqah). Imam Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) has also declared him reliable.

Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has reported his Hadith in Al Adabul Mufrad.

(Refer: Tahdhibul Kamal, vol. 4, pg. 408/409, Tahdhibut Tahdhib, vol. 2, pg. 29)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
