Status of the Hadith narrator ‘Umar ibn Abi ‘Umar Al Kala’i

Question:

What is the status of the Hadith narrator ‘Umar ibn Abi ‘Umar Al Kala’i?

Answer:

‘Umar ibn Abi ‘Umar Al Kala’i has been declared weak by the Muhaddithun. His narrations will therefore be deemed weak. However, the Muhaddithun have specifically mentioned that Baqiyyah’s [ibnul Walid] narrations from him are extremely weak.

(Refer: Mizanul I’tidal, vol. 3 pg. 224, number: 5853, Tahdhibul Kamal, vol. 21 pg. 474, number: 4291, Tahdhibut Tahdhib, vol. 7 pg. 487)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
