The famous and highly respected Wahhabi Imam Al Albaani declared him a liar (Silsila Sahiha, v3 p184) as well as Imam al-Haythami (Majm’a al-Zawaed, v8, p98). He is declaredweak by Imam Ibn Hajar (Taqrib al-Tahdib, v1 p408), Imam Yahya ibn Mueen (Tarikh Ibn Mueen, v1 p336) and Imam Al-Nesai (Al-Du’afa, p187). Al-Hakim said “Sayf is accused of being a heretic. His narrations are abandoned.” (Tarikh al-islam, v11 p161). Even Al-Dhahabi says “Sayf Ibn Umar wrote two books, which have been unanimously rejected by scholars” (Al-Mughani fil Dhufa, page 292) as well as countless others. Even the famous non-Muslim scholar of Islam, Wilfred Madelung of Oxford University has said that “few, if any historians would accept Sayf’s legends of Abdullah ibn Saba.” (Succession to Muhammad, page 2)
