Ibn Abī Shaybah or Imām Abū Bakr Ibn Abī Shaybah or Abū Bakr ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad Ibn Abī Shaybah Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUthmān al-ʿAbasī al-Kūfī (Arabic: امام أبو بكر عبد الله بن محمد بن أبي شيبة إبراهيم بن عثمان العبسي الكوفي) (159H – 235H / 775–849 CE) was an early Muslim scholar of hadith. He authored a musannaf work commonly known as Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah that is one of the earliest extant works in that genre.[3]
Alongside Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Ali ibn al-Madini and Yahya ibn Ma'in, Ibn Abi Shaybah has been considered by many Muslim specialists in hadith to be one of the four most significant authors in the field.[4]
