Mufti Muhammad Taha Karaan (RA) Identifying Sahib al-Uddah

Question

as salamu alaykum,

When Imam Nawawi mentions “Sahib al-‘Uddah” would this be a reference to Ruyani, Tabari, or maybe someone else? I find that both Ruyani and Tabari authored works by that name.

Mufti Taha’s Answer

Wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatuLlah

Tabari.
