and he transmitted ḥadith from Ayyūb Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Qaṣṣāb, Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid, al-ʿAwwām ibn Ḥawshab, Mujālid ibn Saʿīd, ʿĀṣim ibn Rajāʾ ibn Ḥaywah, and others of their generation.
Among those who narrated from him were Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, Isḥāq ibn Rāhwayh, Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn, Suraij ibn Yūnus, Muḥammad ibn Wazīr, Abū ʿAmmār al-Ḥusayn ibn Ḥuraith, Bishr ibn Maṭar, and many others.
Wakīʿ said, “If anyone deserves to be counted among the abdāl (the elect ‘substitutes’), it is Muḥammad ibn Yazīd.”
Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal remarked, “He was solid in ḥadith,” and Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn, Abū Dāwūd, and al-Nasāʾī all declared him “trustworthy.”
I say: Scholars have differed over the year of his death.
Muḥammad ibn Wazīr stated that he died in 190 AH;
al-Muṭayyin said he passed away in 191 AH;
and it has also been claimed—though the report is unsound—that he died in 188 AH.
