The answer

Muhammad ibn Ishaq was authenticated by many scholars such as Imam Ahmad, Ibn Ma'in, Al-Ijli, and Ibn Numayr. Muslim, Ahmad, and the compilers of the Sunan narrated from him, and Al-Bukhari narrated from him in a suspended (ta'liq) manner. He was a mudallis (one who conceals the source of a narration), so what he explicitly stated as having heard directly (sarradah bi al-tahdeeth) was accepted from him, but what he did not explicitly state as such was not accepted. Al-Dhahabi said that he was truthful (saduq) and one of the oceans of knowledge, and his Hadith is (good).
