102 – al-Mājishūn, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Taymī * (ʿ)
The son of Abū Salamah Maimūn—some said his name was Dīnār—he was an eminent imam and senior mufti. His kunya was Abū ʿAbd Allāh, and he was also known as Abū al-Aṣbagh al-Taymī, a client of that clan. A Medinan jurist, he was the father of the mufti ʿAbd al-Malik ibn al-Mājishūn, a close associate of Mālik, and the cousin of Yūsuf ibn Yaʿqūb al-Mājishūn.

He resided for a time in Baghdad.

He narrated from al-Zuhrī, Ibn al-Munkadir, Wahb ibn Kaysān, Hilāl ibn Abī Maymūnah, his uncle Yaʿqūb ibn Abī Salamah, Suhayl ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Qāsim, ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Faḍl al-Hāshimī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dīnār, Isḥāq ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Ṭalḥah, Saʿd ibn Ibrāhīm, ʿAmr ibn Yaḥyā ibn ʿUmārah, Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Ṣaʿṣaʿah, ʿUmar ibn Ḥusayn, and a number of the scholars of his city.

Although he was not among the most prolific transmitters, he possessed a keen juristic acumen, was eloquent, and highly respected.

Those who narrated from him include Ibrāhīm ibn Ṭahmān, Zuhayr ibn Muʿāwiyah, and al-Layth ibn Saʿd,
