Abu Muhammad Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib ibn Hazn al-Makhzumi (Arabic: سعید بن المسیب, romanized: Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib; 637–715) was one of the foremost authorities of jurisprudence (fiqh) among the taba'een (generation succeeding the companions of Muhammad who are referred to as the sahaba). He was based in Medina. He is the only tabi whose all hadith narration are acceptionally trustworthy despite being mursal. In Shia sources, he is counted among the close companions of Ali al-Sajjad, and was reportedly praised by the latter.
