Summary
Muqatil bin Sulaiman al-Balkhi was a prominent Quranic exegete who was also known as a narrator of munkar hadith. Scholars such as Yahya bin Ma'in and Abu Hatim judged his narrations to be abandoned, and Sheikh Syu'aib al-Arna'outh states that scholars unanimously rejected his transmissions. He died in 150 AH. The entry also relates his advice to Caliph Abu Ja'far al-Mansur on the legacies left by Umar bin Abdul Aziz and Hisham bin Abdul Malik.
