CHAPTER III

ABU 'UBAIDAH MUSLIM B. ABI KARIMAH

Second Imam of the Ibadhi Community of Basrah.

Abu 'Ubaidah Muslim b. Abi Karimah al-Tamimi, client of b. Tamim.1 According to Jahiz, he was a mawla of 'Urwah b. 'Udayyah, brother of Abu Bilal Mirdas.2 He lived in Basrah and studied under Jabir b. Zaid, Suhar al-'Abdi, and Ja'far b. al-Simak.3 Some scholars suggest that Abu 'Ubaidah met the same Companions as his teacher Jabir, and narrated Traditions from the Companions, Jabir b. 'Abdullah, Anas b. Malik, Abu Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbas, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, and 'A'ishah.4 It is possible that he may have met some of these Companions or all of them but not for long period as did Jabir b. Zaid. His principle teachers were Ja'far b. al-Simak, Suhar al-'Abdi and Jabir b. Zaid. But he acquired most of his knowledge from Ja'far b. al-Simak and Suhar.5 He devoted his life to learning and teaching. It is reported that he spent forty years of his life in learning and another forty years in teaching.6 the
