Scholar Grading
Questioned (weak transmitter)

Al-Nawawi unable to refute. Al-Dhahabi's Mizan al-I'tidal shows no other scholar accused him. Al-Nasa'i, Ibn Hibban, Abu Hatim, al-'Ijli all vouch for him. But Ibn al-Madini (al-Bukhari's teacher) called him 'munkar al-hadith' — likely why al-Nawawi could not defend.
