I have recorded most of them in Tarikh al-Islam (1).
I drew their names from the autograph of the hadith master Abu ʿAbd Allah ibn Manda, for he drafted a work entitled “al-Ruwat” on the transmitters from Shuʿbah and documented narrations for many of them.
Such is Shuʿbah’s stature that Imam Malik himself transmitted—from an unnamed intermediary—from him, something Malik rarely ever did.
