The chain begins with "Muhammad ibn ‘Umar (al-Waqidi)" . Al-Waqidi, Ibn Sa‘d’s teacher, is a polarizing figure. Hadith critics (like al-Shafi‘i and Ahmad ibn Hanbal) accused him of being a weak narrator, unreliable in the sahih traditions. However, Ibn Sa‘d uses al-Waqidi as his primary source for biographical information, not for establishing legal rulings. Page 269 shows that even when citing al-Waqidi in a hadith context, Ibn Sa‘d preserves the matn (text) for historical, not legal, evidence. This distinction is critical: Tabaqat is a work of Tarikh (history), not Sahih (authenticity).
