"ʿImran bin Husain said to me: 'We performed Tamattuʿ with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'" Abu Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: There are three (named) Ismaʿil bin Muslim; this is one of them, and there is no harm in him. And Shaikh Ismaʿil bin Muslim who reports from Abu Tufail, there is no harm in him. And Ismaʿil bin Muslim who reports from Az-Zuhri and Al-Hasan, he is abandoned in Hadith. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2728)
قَالَ لِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ «تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثَلَاثَةٌ هَذَا أَحَدُهُمْ وَهُوَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ شَيْخٌ يَرْوِي عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ يَرْوِي عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَالْحَسَنِ مَتْرُوكُ الْحَدِيثِ
