Rawḥ ibn ʿAbd al-Muʾmin and others said, “Yaʿqūb studied under Salām al-Ṭawīl, and Salām had studied under Abū ʿAmr ibn al-ʿAlāʾ.”
Ruways said, “I recited to Yaʿqūb, who had recited to Salām, from ʿĀṣim ibn Abī al-Nujūd.”
It is also reported that Yaʿqūb recited to Salām, who in turn had recited to ʿĀṣim al-Jahdarī.
