Summary
‘Athiyyah bin Sa’ad al-‘Awfi al-Kufi was a well-known Tabi’i with the kunyah Abu al-Hasan, who died in 111 AH. Hadith scholars differed in assessing him, but this ruling leans towards describing him as a weak narrator. His narrations require careful examination, especially when he narrates from Abu Sa’id, since he is reported to have used that kunyah for al-Kalbi, leading many to assume it referred to Abu Sa’id al-Khudri.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Melihat kepada beberapa pandangan ahli hadith di atas, maka kami cenderung untuk mengatakan bahawa 'Athiyyah bin Sa'ad al-'Awfi adalah seorang perawi yang dhaif dan riwayatnya perlu diteliti terutamanya apabila beliau meriwayatkan daripada Abu Sa'id.
