The Imām, ḥāfiẓ (hadith master), and firmly reliable authority, Abū Ṭāhir Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥamdān, was a Khurāsānī who travelled widely.
He kept company with al-Ḥākim Ibn al-Bayyiʿ, studied under him, and heard hadith from: the ḥāfiẓ Abū Bakr al-Jawzaqī; Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ṭarāzī; Abū al-Ḥusayn al-Khaffāf; Jaʿfar ibn Fannākī in Rayy; Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī al-Sulaymānī, the ḥāfiẓ of Baykand; Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Ghunjar; Abū Saʿd al-Idrīsī in Samarkand; ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar al-Mālikī in Rayy; and Abū al-Faḍl Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Ḥaddādī ⦗1⦘ in Marw.
He authored a number of works, among them “The Transmission Routes of the Ḥadith of the Bird.”
Among those who heard from him was Abū Saʿīd Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Naysābūrī, in the year one and forty and four hundred (441 AH).
I have not discovered the date of his death, but in Tadhkirat al-Ḥuffāẓ I cited a hadith of his taken from the Salamāsī sessions ⦗2⦘.
