Yaḥyā ibn Jumayʿ al-Ghassānī al-Ṣaydāwī, the father of the itinerant ḥadīth scholar Abū al-Ḥusayn (1).

He heard ḥadīth from Muḥammad ibn al-Maʿafā al-Ṣaydāwī and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdān al-Makkī—from the latter he received the transmission of the Muwatta of Abū Muṣʿab—and he narrated from a number of other teachers.

Those who transmitted from him include his son and his grandson, al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad, together with Ḥusayn ibn Jaʿfar al-Jurjānī and others.

His grandson related—on the authority of the grandfather’s servant Ṭalḥah—that Abū Bakr would stand in prayer throughout the entire night; after performing the dawn prayer he would sleep until mid-morning, and once he had prayed Ẓuhr he would continue performing supererogatory rakʿahs until ʿAṣr, adding, “Such was his regular practice.”

Manjā ibn Sulaym reported that al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad told him: “My grandfather began fasting at the age of twelve, and he kept the fast continuously until he died in 371 AH.”
