I read to Aḥmad ibn Hibat Allāh, citing ʿAbd al-Muʿizz ibn Muḥammad, who said, “Tamīm al-Muʾaddib informed us; Abū Saʿd al-Kanjarūdhī informed us; Abū ʿAmr ibn Ḥamdān informed us; Abū Yaʿlā narrated to us; Aḥmad ibn Janāb narrated to us; ʿĪsā ibn Yūnus narrated to me, from Hishām ibn ʿUrwa, from his father, from Ibn ʿUmar, who said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Change the grey hair, and do not imitate the Jews.’ (1)
Al-Nasāʾī also recorded it through ʿUthmān ibn Khurrāzādh, from Aḥmad ibn Janāb.
He narrated from his father and his brother, but he did not manage to hear from his grandfather, for he was still a child in his lifetime.
He likewise transmitted from Sulaymān al-Taymī, Hishām ibn ʿUrwa, Abū Ḥayyān al-Taymī, al-Jurayrī, Zakarīyyā ibn Abī Zāʾidah, al-Aʿmash, Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid, Ṭalḥah ibn Yaḥyā, ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Sulaymān, ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī Ziyād al-Qaddāḥ, ʿUmar ibn Saʿīd ibn Abī Ḥusayn, ʿAwf, Mujālid, ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Anṣārī, ʿUmar the freedman of Ghufrah, Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim, Hishām ibn Ḥassān, Ibn Abī Laylā, Maʿmar, al-Awzāʿī, Shuʿbah, Misʿar, al-Thawrī, and many others besides.
He possessed vast knowledge, travelled extensively, and enjoyed great prestige.
Those who narrated from him include: Baqiyyah, Ibn Wahb, al-Walīd ibn Muslim, and Ismāʿīl ibn
