Thābit ibn Abī Ṣafiyya famously known as Abū Ḥamza al-Thumālī Thābit ibn Dīnār (Arabic: أبو حمزة الثمالي) (born before 82 Hijri/701 CE – died after 150 Hijri/767 CE), was a Shia Muslim and a companion of Shia Imams Ali al-Sajjad (680–712) and Muhammad al-Baqir (712–732). He is known for transmitting the text for Risalat al-Huquq and the Supplication of Abu Hamza al-Thumali from Ali al-Sajjad. He is regarded as a trustworthy hadith transmitter by Shias, but untrustworthy by Sunni hadith scholars.
