Muʿtamir ibn Sulaymān

Muʿtamir ibn Sulaymān was a notable figure in early Islamic history recognised for his reliability in transmitting hadith. He belonged to the Arabian tribal milieu during the formative period of Islamic scholarship. His role was primarily as a muhaddith, ensuring the accurate preservation and transmission of the Prophet Muhammad's sayings and traditions. Muʿtamir's narrations contributed to the body of hadith literature that underpins Islamic jurisprudence and theology. His trustworthiness made him a respected authority among later scholars who relied on his transmissions. Details about his tribe, family, and exact dates of birth and death remain scarce. His death year is not clearly recorded in historical sources.
