In brief
Qays b. Abi Hazim, the imam Abu Abdallah al-Ahmasi al-Bajali of Kufa, hadith-master of Kufa; he set out to reach the Prophet ﷺ, who died while Qays was still on the road, so he heard Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Abu Ubayda, Ibn Mas'ud, and many of the elders, and he fought at Yamama. 1
Transmission
Bayan b. Bishr, al-A'mash, Isma'il b. Abi Khalid, and others narrated from him; Yahya b. Ma'in and others declared him reliable, and though Ibn al-Madini told Yahya b. Sa'id that the report of Kalab al-Hawa'ib was objectionable, al-Dhahabi ruled that his hadith is used as proof in all the collections of Islam. 2
His death
He died in 97 AH, with other reports as well. 3
