Question
What is the status of the narrator صبيح مولى أم سلمة?
Answer
Subayh was the freed slave of Sayyidah Ummu Salamah (radiyallahu ‘anha). He reported Hadith from Sayyidah Ummu Salamah (radiyallahu ‘anha) and Sayyiduna Zayd ibn Arqam (radiyallahu ‘anhu). His narrations appear in Sunan Tirmidhi and Sunan Ibn Majah.
Imam Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) has declared him reliable (ثقة).
