136 – Ziyād ibn Saʿd al-Khurasānī
An eminent, well-qualified, authoritative scholar from Khurasan who later took up residence in Mecca.
He narrated from Shuraḥbīl ibn Saʿd, Ibn Shihāb, Ḍamrah ibn Saʿīd, and others of their generation.
He died in the prime of his life.
Among those who transmitted from him were Mālik, Ibn ʿUyaynah, and other early authorities.
His narrations did not become widely disseminated; roughly one hundred ḥadiths are traceable to him.
He passed away either at the same time as Ibn Jurayj or slightly before him—may Allah have mercy on him.
His reports are found in the Six Canonical Collections.
137 – Ibrāhīm ibn Abī ʿAblah al-ʿUqaylī (his ḥadiths appear in al-Bukhārī, Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, and al-Nasāʾī)
The imām, exemplar, and leading shaykh of Palestine; Abū Isḥāq al-ʿUqaylī, the Syrian from Jerusalem.
One of the last of the Successors (tābiʿūn).

He narrated from Wāthilah ibn al-Asqaʿ, Anas ibn Mālik, Abū Umāmah al-Bāhilī, Bilāl ibn Abī al-Dardāʾ, Khālid ibn Maʿdān, and many others.
Some maintain that he also met Ibn ʿUmar; if not, then his reports from him are regarded as mursal (missing the Companion).
It is said his kunya was Abū al-ʿAbbās; others report Abū Saʿīd or Abū Ismāʿīl. He was also known as Ibrāhīm ibn Shimr ibn Yaqẓān ibn Murtaḥil al-Ramlī.
He enjoyed great virtue and prestige.
Those who narrated from him include Ibn Isḥāq—who predeceased him—, Ibn Shawdhub, ʿAmr ibn al-Ḥārith—who also died before him—, Mālik, al-Layth, Ibn al-Mubārak, Baqiyyah ibn al-Walīd, Muḥammad ibn Ḥimyar, Ayyūb ibn Suwayd, Muḥammad ibn Ziyād al-Maqdisī, and many others.
He was declared reliable by Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn and al-Nasāʾī.
The Umayyad caliph al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Malik used to entrust him with the stipends allocated to the people of Jerusalem, and he would distribute them among them.
