A: In his book entitled "Taqrib Al-Tahdhib", Al-Hafizh Ibn Hajar Al-`Asqalany said, "Muhammad ibn Is-haq ibn Yasar Abu Bakr Al-Muttaliby Al-Madany, lived in Iraq, and narrated Hadiths of Maghazy (Conquests). He was honest, but in his late days he was known for fabricating Hadiths. (Part No. 4; Page No. 372) He was also accused of being a Shi‘i (Shiite) and a Qadary (Fatalist). He was one of the youngest among the fifth generation (Tabaqah) of narrators. He died in the year 150, and it was also said that he died later."His biography was narrated in the book entitled "Tahdhib Al-Tahdhib".
