Al-Bukhari, in his History, went no further than mentioning Murʿabal after quoting his grandfather Musarbal. Muslim does the same in al-Kuna, except that he writes Mughrabil in place of Murʿabal.
Abu Nasr al-Kalābadī, in his Irshād, records the lineage as: Musaddad ibn Musarhad ibn Mughrabil ibn Armaka ibn Māhaka.
Jaʿfar al-Mustaghfirī says: Musaddad ibn Musarhad ibn Sharīk.
Ibn Mākūlā relates from al-Sharīf al-Nassābah that it is: the son of Musarhad ibn Musarbal ibn Mā sik ibn Jarw ibn Yazīd ibn Shabīb ibn al-Salt ibn Asad.
Māziḥ remarked, “If one were to write ‘In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful’ in front of that pedigree, it would be a charm against scorpion stings.”
209 – Nuʿaym ibn Ḥammād ibn Muʿāwiyah al-Khuzaʿī – (Bukhari, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
He is the son of al-Ḥarith ibn Hammām ibn Salamah ibn Mālik—an imam, a distinguished scholar and ḥāfiẓ, known as Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Khuzaʿī al-Marwazī, a specialist in the laws of inheritance, one-eyed, and the author of several works.
He met al-Ḥusayn ibn Wāqid al-Marwazī.
He transmitted from: Abū Ḥamzah al-Sukkarī—his senior-most teacher—Hushaym, Abū Bakr ibn ʿAyyāsh, Ibrāhīm ibn Ṭahmān (from whom he has a single hadith), Khārijah ibn Muṣʿab, ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak, and ʿĪsā.
