Question:
Asalamualaikum,
Many Hadith experts have called Hafs ibn Sulayman untrustworthy and some have called him a liar. Is this true? Should we learn Quran from someone unreliable in Hadith? Is Hafs trusted in Quran?
Salam
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Hafs b. Sulayman al-Asadi was “firmly trustworthy in Quranic reading, weak in hadith and truthful in himself” (al-Dhahabi).
