Muslim ibn Yasar

Abu 'Abdallah Muslim ibn Yasar, of Basra then Mecca, a client of the Banu Umayya, was a jurist of the Followers' generation. Qatada counted him among the five jurists of Basra, and Ibn 'Awn said: "I found this mosque with no circle where jurisprudence was mentioned except the circle of Muslim ibn Yasar." ¹

Ibn Hajar accredited him and placed him in the fourth generation; it is reported that Qatada did not hear anything from him on one account, while others affirmed that he did. ^{2 3}
