Shaikh Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee
His Checking of Imaam Abu Khaithama's book Kitaab-ul-'Ilm (pg. 3) [1] :learn:
He was Abu Khaithama Zuhayr Ibn Harb Ibn Shadaad an-Nasaa'ee. [2] He was a great Haafidh, reliable in narration and firm in memory.
He narrated hadeeth from many scholars, the likes of Sufyaan Ibn 'Uyainah, Hushaim Ibn Basheer, Yahyaa Ibn Sa'eed al-Qattaan, 'Abd-ur-Rahmaan Ibn Mahdee, Wakee' and many others.
Similarly, many scholars narrated from him, such as Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim, the latter of whom reported so many hadeeth on his authority, that they number past a thousand. [3]
The scholars agree unanimously upon his reliability and trustworthiness (in the field of hadeeth).
Ibn Hibbaan (rahimahullaah) said of him: "He was precise and accurate in memory - from the peers of Ahmad and Yahyaa Ibn Ma'een."
Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee (rahimahullaah) said in his Taareekh Baghdaad (8/482): "He was reliable, trustworthy, possessed good memory and was precise."
He was born in the year 160H and died in the year 234H, may Allaah have mercy on him.
