Imam Ibn Kathir said, “He was one of the imams of hadith in his age and has a number of famous compilations, such as al-Jami’, al-Shama’il, Asma’ al-Sahaba, and others. The book al-Jami’ is one of the six [hadith] works that the scholars refer to.”
Abu Ya’la al-Khalili said, “He is a narrator of probity and precision (thiqa), and there is consensus regarding his status. He was known for his trustworthiness and knowledge.”
Imam al-Dhahabi recorded that Imam al-Tirmidhi said, “I compiled this work [al-Jami’] and presented it to the scholars of the Hejaz, Iraq, and Khorasan, and they were pleased with it. Anyone who has this book in his home, it is as if he has the Prophet speaking in his home.”
