Hishām ibn Yūsuf al-Kalbī

Hishām ibn Yūsuf al-Kalbī belonged to the Kalb tribe, an Arabian tribe known in early Islamic history. He lived during the third generation of Muslims, the Tabi‘un, and was recognised as a reliable transmitter of hadith. His narrations are valued for their precision and appear in numerous significant isnāds, contributing to the preservation of prophetic traditions. Despite the importance of his role in hadith transmission, detailed personal information about his life, including birth and death dates, remains scarce. His contributions helped shape Islamic scholarship in the formative centuries after the Prophet Muhammad's era.
