Question:What is the word of Sunnite scholars about the reliability of Jarir Ibn Abdul Hameed and accepting his quotations?
Answer: Ibn Qutaibah has considered him as a Shi'a in his Ma'arif book. And Zahabi has mentioned his name in his Mizan book (vol. 1, p. 394) and has put a code beside his name to show that all of the writers of Sahih books have relied on his traditions for reasoning.
Zahabi has admired him and said that" He was a scholar from the city of Ray and was a very truthful person. It is relied on his traditions for reasoning and he is a trusted and reliable person unanimously.
The traditions which he has quoted from A'mash, Mughairah, Mansur, Ismail Ibn Khalid and Abu Ishaq Shaibani are available in the Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. You can refer to these two Sahih books to see the traditions which Qutaibah Ibn Sa'ad, Yahya Ibn Yahya and Uthman Ibn Shaibah have quoted from him.
He died in the year 187 A.H, while he was 77 years old. May God bless his soul.(1)
