ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd died in 153 AH. All of the major compilers, apart from al-Bukhārī, regarded his reports as acceptable, and his ḥadīths are rated ḥasan (fair).
5 – Ibrāhīm ibn Nāfiʿ, Abū Isḥāq al-Makhzūmī * (ʿ)
The imām, traditionist, and ḥāfiẓ; Abū Isḥāq al-Makhzūmī, the Meccan.
He transmitted from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ, Muslim ibn Yannāq, Ibn Ṭāwūs, and Ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Najīḥ.
Among those who narrated from him are ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī, Zayd ibn Ḥubāb, Abū Nuʿaym, Khallād ibn Yaḥyā, Abū Ḥudhayfah Mūsā ibn Masʿūd, and others.
Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah said, “He was a ḥāfiẓ.”
ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī said, “He was the most reliable shaykh in Mecca.”
I (the author) say: He died around 160 AH, or shortly thereafter.
6 – Saʿīd ibn Abī Ayyūb Miqlāṣ al-Khuzāʿī, their client ** (ʿ)
The imām, ḥāfiẓ, and reliable authority; Abū Yaḥyā al-Miṣrī, the jurist, the Khuzāʿī client.
His father’s name was Miqlāṣ.
Saʿīd was born in 100 AH.
