Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibn Abi Shaybah was an early Muslim scholar of hadith. He authored a musannaf work commonly known as Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah that is one of the earliest extant works in that genre.[1]

Alongside Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Ali ibn al-Madini and Yahya ibn Ma'in, Ibn Abi Shaybah has been considered by many Muslim specialists in hadith to be one of the four most significant authors in the field.[2]
