Question: What is the word of Sunnite scholars about the reliability of Nuh Ibn Qais and accepting his quotations?
Answer: Nuh Ibn Qais Rabah Hadani also called Tahi Basri.
Zahabi has mentioned his name in the Mizanul I'tidal book [vol. 4, p. 279] and has said that: "his traditions are acceptable."
He has also said that: "Ahmad and Ibn Mu'in have admired him." and Abu Dawud has said that: "He was a Shi'a." Nisai also says that: "He doesn’t have any faults."
Zahabi has placed the code of Muslim and the writers of Sunan books beside his name to point out that he is one of the narrators of their Sahih books.
The tradition that he has quoted about drinks from Ibn 'Awan is available in the Sahih of Muslim.
In addition, the tradition that he has quoted from his brother, Khalid Ibn Qais, is in the part of "Clothes" of Sahih of Muslim book.
In the opinion of Muslim, Nasr Ibn Ali quotes tradition from him, and in the opinion of others, Abul Ash'ath and some other people of this class quote tradition from him. Nuh quotes narration from Ayyub, Amr Ibn Malik and some other people.1
