The entry also lists the primary sources that preserve his biography: the *Tabaqat* of Ibn Sa'd (7/300), al-Bukhari's *al-Tarikh al-Kabir* (6/1848), Muslim's *al-Kuna*, al-Uqayli's *al-Thiqat*, and Ibn Abi Hatim's *al-Jarh wa-l-Ta'dil* (6/269), among others<sup>[1](https://mail.shamela.ws/book/3722/9133)</sup>.\n\n**A three-generation family.** His father Abd al-Warith ibn Sa'id died in Basra in Muharram 180 AH, and Ibn Sa'd called him \"thiqah hujjah\" (trustworthy, an authority)<sup>[7](https://hdith.com/encyclopedia/book/b-49/h/474318)</sup>. The father's reputation, however, carried a sectarian shadow: several critics said he held Qadari views. Abd al-Samad himself is recorded swearing that his father never spoke about [Qadar](https://www.edgepedia.org/predestination-in-islam) at all, saying \"he was lied against\"<sup>[7](https://hdith.com/encyclopedia/book/b-49/h/474318)</sup>.\n\nAbd al-Samad narrated from his father's written compilations and from the leading Basrans of the previous generation: [Shu'ba ibn al-Hajjaj](https://www.edgepedia.org/shuba-ibn-al-hajjaj), Hammad ibn Salama, Hisham al-Dastuwa'i, Isma'il ibn Muslim al-'Abdi, Hammam ibn Yahya, Aban ibn Yazid al-'Attar, Ikrima ibn Ammar, Abu Khaldah, and Harb ibn Shaddad<sup>[2](https://hadithtransmitters.hawramani.com/%d8%b9%d8%a8%d8%af-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b5%d9%85%d8%af-%d8%a8%d9%86-%d8%b9%d8%a8%d8%af-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%88%d8%a7%d8%b1%d8%ab-%d8%a8%d9%86-%d8%b3%d8%b9%d9%8a%d8%af-%d8%a8%d9%86-%d8%b0%d9%83%d9%88%d8%a7-2/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://hadith.dev/narrator/3460)</sup>. One database lists 142 teachers for him<sup>[10](https://didnthesay.com/figures/narrators/abd-al-samad-ibn-abd-al-warth-al-tamimi)</sup>.\n\n## Students and transmission network\n\nHis students form a who's-who of the ninth tabaqa: [Ahmad ibn Hanbal](https://www.edgepedia.org/ahmad-ibn-hanbal), Ishaq ibn Rahawayh, Yahya ibn Ma'in, Bundar, Abd ibn Humayd, Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Dhuhli, Abu Khaythama, Hajjaj ibn al-Sha'ir, and his own son Abd al-Warith ibn Abd al-Samad<sup>[2](https://hadithtransmitters.hawramani.com/%d8%b9%d8%a8%d8%af-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b5%d9%85%d8%af-%d8%a8%d9%86-%d8%b9%d8%a8%d8%af-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%88%d8%a7%d8%b1%d8%ab-%d8%a8%d9%86-%d8%b3%d8%b9%d9%8a%d8%af-%d8%a8%d9%86-%d8%b0%d9%83%d9%88%d8%a7-2/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[11](https://hdith.com/encyclopedia/rawi/p-3460)</sup>. That Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ishaq ibn Rahawayh took hadith from him is the fact his defenders lean on when weighing the adverse verdicts.\n\nHis material entered the canonical collections. The Musnad of Ahmad alone contains 619 of his narrations by one count<sup>[6](https://en.islamicurdubooks.com/hadith/rawy-details.php?rawyid=4548)</sup>. The hadith.dev database records 1,410 hadith across 1,308 isnads; in 46 percent of those isnads he sits at the fifth position, and 31 percent of his isnads are six-link (sudasi) chains<sup>[4](https://hadith.dev/narrator/3460)</sup>.\n\n## Tadlis: meaning and the accusations against him\n\n**What tadlis is.** The word comes from the merchant's concealment of a defect in goods<sup>[12](https://journal.uinsgd.ac.id/index.php/Diroyah/article/download/55042/16414/161608)</sup>. In hadith criticism it can involve giving the impression of direct transmission when the narrator did not hear the report, or omitting a narrator whose credibility is known to be flawed<sup>[13](https://www.aljumuah.com/mustalah-al-hadith-11-al-hadith-al-mudallas-the-ruling-in-regards-to-tadlis-omar-abdl-haleem/)</sup>. Classical manuals distinguish tadlis al-isnad, tadlis al-shuyukh (naming one's shaykh by a little-known name to hide his identity), and tadlis al-taswiyyah (dropping a weak intermediate narrator), the last being the worst<sup>[14](https://sanawema.com/according-to-the-manner-in-which-the-hadith-is-reported/)</sup>.\n\n**His label.** The structured narrator databases record him as ṣadūq, thabt fī Shuʿbah<sup>[3](https://hadith.islam-db.com/narrators/4548)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[18](https://usul.ai/ar/t/nukat-cala-ibn-salah/604)</sup>. His individual tadlis cases, which narrators he concealed or in which chains, are not documented; the label stands as a summary judgment rather than a documented list.\n\n**The Basran context.** A peer-reviewed study of Basran transmission (ca. 40–150 AH) documents what it calls the \"Basran Paradox\": Basra's fame as the home of the Ashab al-Asanid, the transmitters of the soundest chains, coexisted with a high rate of tadlis among its most prominent narrators. The study argues that tadlis in Basra, rather than simply corrupting the tradition, drove the development of more exacting isnad-verification standards than existed elsewhere, so the sound chains survived through the very scrutiny tadlis provoked<sup>[12](https://journal.uinsgd.ac.id/index.php/Diroyah/article/download/55042/16414/161608)</sup>. The majority rule that developed is that a mudallis's narration is accepted when it is established that he heard that specific report from that specific shaykh<sup>[13](https://www.aljumuah.com/mustalah-al-hadith-11-al-hadith-al-mudallas-the-ruling-in-regards-to-tadlis-omar-abdl-haleem/)</sup>; al-Shafi'i, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and [Ali ibn al-Madini](https://www.edgepedia.org/ali-ibn-al-madini) each applied their own criteria to how tadlis affects authenticity<sup>[15](https://al-marjan.com.pk/index.php/Journal/article/view/158)</sup>. Tadlis was not disqualifying in itself: [Sufyan al-Thawri](https://www.edgepedia.org/sufyan-al-thawri) and Ibn 'Uyayna are named among the mudallisin the traditionists accepted, and Ibn Hajar's *Tabaqat al-Mudallisin* sorts them into five categories<sup>[14](https://sanawema.com/according-to-the-manner-in-which-the-hadith-is-reported/)</sup>.\n\n## Grading by the rijal critics\n\nThe verdicts on Abd al-Samad conflict.\n\n**In his favor:** [Abu Hatim al-Razi](https://www.edgepedia.org/abu-hatim-al-razi) said \"saduq, salih al-hadith\" (truthful, sound in hadith)<sup>[3](https://hadith.islam-db.com/narrators/4548)</sup>; Shu'ba and Ali ibn al-Madini called him \"thabt fi Shu'bah\", precise in what he took from Shu'ba; [Yahya ibn Ma'in](https://www.edgepedia.org/yahya-ibn-main) authenticated him; al-Hakim said \"thiqah ma'mun\"; al-Dhahabi titled him \"al-Hafiz, hujjah\" (the memorizer, an authority)<sup>[6](https://en.islamicurdubooks.com/hadith/rawy-details.php?rawyid=4548)</sup>.\n\n**Against him:** al-Daraqutni graded him da'if (weak) in his *al-Du'afa wa-l-Matrukin*, and [Ibn al-Jawzi](https://www.edgepedia.org/ibn-al-jawzi), citing Daraqutni, called him matruk (abandoned); [Ibn Hibban](https://www.edgepedia.org/ibn-hibban) said he may only be mentioned by way of criticism, despite having listed him among the thiqat elsewhere<sup>[1](https://mail.shamela.ws/book/3722/9133)</sup>.\n\n**The Taqrib problem.** Ibn Hajar's verdict is itself contested between editions and databases. The Shamela text of *Tahdhib al-Kamal* prints his *Taqrib* entry as \"munkar al-hadith\" (his hadith is objectionable)<sup>[1](https://mail.shamela.ws/book/3722/9133)</sup>, while hadith.dev, islamicurdubooks, and islam-db all record the same work as \"saduq, thabt fi Shu'bah\"<sup>[4](https://hadith.dev/narrator/3460)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://en.islamicurdubooks.com/hadith/rawy-details.php?rawyid=4548)</sup>. The editors of *Tahrir Taqrib al-Tahdhib* remark that it is surprising Ibn Hajar left the endorsements of so many masters and clung to Abu Hatim's lone remark, given what is known of Abu Hatim's severity<sup>[3](https://hadith.islam-db.com/narrators/4548)</sup>.\n\nThe disagreement maps onto the tier system Ibn Abi Hatim (d. 327/938) first formalized; in one account of that system, a saduq is described as a narrator whose hadith is written down and examined rather than used as independent legal proof<sup>[16](https://www.academia.edu/109427398/The_Ambiguity_of_Early_Hadith_Criticism_%CA%BFAl%C4%AB_b_al_Mad%C4%ABn%C4%AB_s_161_234_778_849_Evaluation_of_Hadith_Transmitters)</sup>.\n\n## His hadith in the collections: by the numbers\n\nDatabase counts for his presence in the canonical books do not reconcile. The Al-Sahih corpus indexes 112 hadith via him, none in Bukhari's Sahih, 21 in Muslim, 9 in al-Nasa'i, 8 in Abu Dawud, 25 in al-Tirmidhi, 6 in Ibn Majah, 8 in al-Darimi, and 35 in Ahmad<sup>[17](https://www.alsa7i7.com/narrators/%D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%85%D8%AF%20%D8%A8%D9%86%20%D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AB)</sup>. The islamicurdubooks rijal database gives Bukhari 33, Muslim 67, Abu Dawud 18, Ibn Majah 15, al-Nasa'i 18, al-Tirmidhi 30, and Musnad Ahmad 619<sup>[6](https://en.islamicurdubooks.com/hadith/rawy-details.php?rawyid=4548)</sup>. A Bukhari-specific database gives 27 hadiths in [Sahih al-Bukhari](https://www.edgepedia.org/sahih-al-bukhari)<sup>[5](https://sahibukhari.com/narrators/abdul-samad-bin-abdul-warith-bin-said)</sup>.\n\n**Foundational narrations.** Three of his transmissions:\n\n- The Abu Dharr hadith in which God says \"I have forbidden oppression upon Myself and upon My servants, so do not oppress one another\" (إني حرمت على نفسي الظلم). In another Muslim chain he appears as Zuhayr ibn Harb – Abd al-Samad – his father – Husayn al-Mu'allim – Ibn Burayda – Yahya ibn Ya'mar<sup>[17](https://www.alsa7i7.com/narrators/%D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%85%D8%AF%20%D8%A8%D9%86%20%D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AB)</sup>.\n- The Anas hadith on the Prophet's practice of knocking three times when seeking permission and repeating a sentence three times when speaking, which he transmitted into Sahih al-Bukhari<sup>[5](https://sahibukhari.com/narrators/abdul-samad-bin-abdul-warith-bin-said)</sup>.\n- The hadith on praying seated, that one who prays standing does better and one who prays seated receives half the reward of the one standing, via his father from Husayn from Ibn Burayda from '[Imran ibn Husayn](https://www.edgepedia.org/imran-ibn-husayn)<sup>[10](https://didnthesay.com/figures/narrators/abd-al-samad-ibn-abd-al-warth-al-tamimi)</sup>.\n\nOne recorded criticism instance concerns a hadith of [Abu Hurayra](https://www.edgepedia.org/abu-hurayra) via al-A'mash and Abu Salih that only Shu'ba and then Abd al-Samad transmit, where a critic comments \"I suspect Abd al-Samad erred in it\"<sup>[4](https://hadith.dev/narrator/3460)</sup>.\n\n## Comparison with his father and the family school\n\nThe father-son contrast is instructive. The father Abd al-Warith ibn Sa'id drew higher praise shadowed by the Qadari accusation: al-Nasa'i called him \"thiqah thabt\", Abu Hatim ranked him with Ibn 'Uyayna, Wuhayb, and Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal and said \"he is more verified than Hammad ibn Salama\", and Shu'ba said of him \"mastery shows through the nape of his neck\"<sup>[7](https://hdith.com/encyclopedia/book/b-49/h/474318)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[9](https://www.islamic-awareness.org/hadith/narrasaeed.html)</sup>. But Isma'il ibn Ulayyah warned, \"If Abd al-Warith tells you a hadith, grip his hand\", a signal of the father's own tadlis practice<sup>[7](https://hdith.com/encyclopedia/book/b-49/h/474318)</sup>. The son is not described with frequent tadlis or hidden irsal; rather, Ibn Hajar labels him \"saduq, thabt fi Shu'bah\", with gradings ranging from that to \"matruk\"<sup>[18](https://usul.ai/ar/t/nukat-cala-ibn-salah/604)</sup>.\n\nThe family continued a third generation. Al-Mizzi's entry 3596 covers the grandson Abd al-Warith ibn Abd al-Samad, \"the grandson of the one before him\", of whom al-Jawzajani said \"he was among the most verified of people\" and Ibn Hajar wrote \"thiqah thabt, accused of Qadarism, but nothing mursal is established from him\"<sup>[8](https://shamela.ws/book/3722/9518)</sup>.\n\n## References\n\n1.
