Sulaym ibn Qays

Sulaym ibn Qays al-Hilali al-Amiri, who died before 714, was one of the Tabiun and a companion of Ali toward the end of Ali's life, as well as a loyal companion of the Shia Imams Hasan ibn Ali, Husayn ibn Ali, Ali Zayn al-Abidin and Muhammad al-Baqir. He is the purported author of an early Shiite hadith collection known as the Kitab Sulaym ibn Qays, though scholars generally consider its attribution to him false, and some scholars dispute whether he existed as a historical figure at all.
