In brief
Tawus b. Kaysan, Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Yamani al-Janadi, among the most godfearing; he heard Zayd b. Thabit, A'isha, Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him), Zayd b. Arqam, Ibn Abbas, and a group, while his son Abdallah, al-Zuhri, Ibrahim b. Maysara, Abu al-Zubayr al-Makki, Abdallah b. Abi Najih, Hanzala b. Abi Sufyan, and others narrated from him — a chief in learning and practice. 2
Standing
Ibn Hibban says Tawus performed forty pilgrimages and had his prayers answered; Amr b. Dinar said "I have never seen anyone like Tawus", and Qays b. Sa'd said "Tawus among us was like Ibn Sirin among the people of Basra". 2
