Qatada ibn Di'amah al-Sadusi or Abu Khattab ( Arabic: قتادة بن دعامة السدوسي) (died 117 AH/735 AD) was a mufassir and Muhaddith who lived in Basra, Iraq.
He came from the clan of Sadus, from the northern Arab tribe of Banu Shayban. [1] Little is known about his life, and the earliest accounts of him were compiled by Ibn Sa'd in his "Book of the Major Classes". [2] He was blind; he relied on his memory in passing on his knowledge in the fields of hadith, tafsir, Arabic poetry and genealogy, which was already considered proverbial in his lifetime. He was a student and a companion of al-Hasan al-Basri for several years. According to some reports mentioned by al-Mizzī and al-Dhahabī in their scholarly biographies, Qatāda died of the plague in Wasit in 117 (Hijri Calendar)/735 A.D.
