Muḥammad ibn Muslim al-Thaqafī al-Kūfī (Arabic: محمد بن مسلم الثقفي الكوفي) (768–699) was a Shia Muslim muhaddith, qadi and an ascetic (zāhed) who was highly regarded in the legal circles of Kufa. He was a prominent companion of fifth Shia Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (712–732) and his son and successor Ja'far al-Sadiq (732–765), and is considered one of the People of Consensus (Asḥāb al-ijmāʿ) by Shia Muslims. The scholars of rijal (biographical evaluation) regard him as the most learned jurist among Shia hadith transmitters. According to a hadith from Ja'far al-Sadiq, Muhammad b. Muslim was one of the revivers of the teachings of Muhammad al-Baqir.
