Among the transmitters whose deaths fall at the turn of the second century—the tenth tier—is the following:

119 – Muʿādh ibn Hishām ibn Abī ʿAbd Allāh Sanbar al-Baṣrī (ʿ)
A leading traditionist, reliable, Basran.

He reported copiously from his father, Hishām al-Dastuwāʾī.
He also transmitted a small number of narrations from Ibn ʿAwn, Ashʿath ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, Bukayr ibn Abī al-Samīṭ, and Shuʿbah.

Those who narrated from him include: Aḥmad [ibn Ḥanbal], Ibn Rāhawayh, ʿAlī, Abū Khaythamah, al-Qawārīrī, Bundār, Abū Mūsā al-Zaman, Abū Qudāmah ʿUbayd Allāh al-Sarakhsī, ʿAmr ibn ʿAlī, Bakr ibn Khalaf, Ibrāhīm ibn ʿArʿarah, Abū Saʿīd al-Ashajj, Naṣr ibn ʿAlī, Abū Hishām al-Rifāʿī, Yazīd ibn Sinān, Zayd ibn Akhzam, and many others.

Al-Maymūnī relates from Aḥmad: “In the notebook he had copied from his father there was the statement, ‘Acts of disobedience are not part of Allah’s decree.’ I said to him, ‘How do you know that?’ He replied, ‘I saw it written in his book from his father.’ ”

Later Muʿādh travelled to Mecca on business, sat down, and began relating hadith to the people. Al-Ḥumaydī thereupon said, “Do not listen to a word from this Qadarī.” ⦗1⦘
