al-Muʿtaqal b. ʿUmar kept company with al-Ṣādiq (ʿa) and was of al-Juʿfī. The books are divided about him: Muʿjam Rijāl al-Ḥadīth holds him reliable, while Kitāb al-Ḍuʿafāʾ weakens him.

on later scholars only, not the early rijāl

40 – al-Muʿtaqal (likely an error for al-Mufaḍḍal) b. ʿUmar, al-Juʿfī, Abū ʿAbdillāh. According to me he is thiqa in himself, however his ḥadīths – all of them – are unrecognized, and nothing is cleared from his ḥadīth that is permissible to rely upon.

40 - المعتقل بن عمر، الجعفي، أبو عبد الله. هو عندي في نفسه ثقة، لكن أحاديثه كلها مناكير، وليس يخلص من حديثه شيء يجوز أن يعول عليه.
