مقاتل بن حيان النبطي البلخي

Muqatil ibn Hayyan, Abu Bistam al-Nabati al-Balkhi al-Khurasani, a leading scholar whom Yahya ibn Ma'in and Abu Dawud and others counted as trustworthy. He transmitted from al-Dahhak, Mujahid, Ikrima and al-Sha'bi, and from him transmitted his brother Mus'ab, Alqama ibn Martad and Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak. He fled to Kabul in the days of Abu Muslim, called many to Islam who embraced it, and died in Kabul before 150 AH. ¹
