• Ismāʿīl ibn Sumayʿ al-Juʿfī. He was a Khārijī and of those who hated ʿAlī
I. 3 Due to his preposterous dogma Zāʾidah ibn Qudāmah, Jarīr ibn
ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, 4 and Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah 5 discarded his narrations, as his
mentioned by several scholars. 6

al-Bustī has stated:

2 Ismāʿīl ibn Sumayʿ al-Juʿfī, Abū Muḥammad al-Kūfī. He has narrated from Anas I and others.

of Ḥadīth and a jurist. Ibn Maʿīn and others have deemed him reliable, whilst others have impugned
him due to his Jahmī tendencies, not due to his expertise. He passed away in 222 A.H. His narrations
appear in the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim and the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd, al-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah.
