Abdullāh ibn 'Ibādh al-Tamimi (Arabic: عبدالله بن اباض التميمي‎; d. 708) was a Tabi'i, a jurist and one of the best students of Ibn Abbas,[citation needed] who narrated hadiths from Aisha and a large number of the Sahaba who witnessed the Battle of Badr.[citation needed] He and Jābir ibn Zayd were imams in the tafsir and sciences of Hadith.[citation needed]

Lineage[edit]

Abdullah ibn Ibadh belongs to the Nejdi tribe of Bani Murra who are descendants of Murra ibn Ubayd ibn Tamim, and thus he belongs to the tribe of Bani Tamim, one of the largest in the Arabian peninsula.

Biography[edit]

Ibn Ibadh grew up during the reign of Muawiyah I, the first ruler of the Umayyad Caliphate, and died during the reign of Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan.[1]

The Ibadi school of thought is attributed to ibn Ibadh, although there is some recent research[2] that qualifies this attribution.
