226 – Muḥammad ibn al-Minhāl al-Ḍarīr al-Tamīmī * (Kh, M, D)
A ḥāfiẓ, first-rate transmitter, and imam. He was Abū Jaʿfar—though some said Abū ʿAbd Allāh—al-Tamīmī, the Basran, a close companion of Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ and his principal narrator.
He also transmitted from: Abū ʿAwānah, Jaʿfar ibn Sulaymān, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ṭufāwī, Makhshiyy ibn Muʿāwiyah al-Bāhilī, Ḥabībah bint Ḥammād al-Māzinīyah, and a small number of others.
He neither journeyed abroad in search of ḥadith nor committed them to writing; rather, he relied on his prodigious memory.
Among those who narrated from him are: al-Bukhārī, Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, Abū Muḥammad al-Dārimī, Abū Bakr al-Athram, Ḥarb al-Karmānī, ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Wāṣil al-Bukhārī, ʿUthmān ibn Khurrādhādh, ʿUthmān ibn Saʿīd al-Dārimī, Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Būshanjī, Muḍar ibn Muḥammad al-Asadī, Yaʿqūb al-Fasawī, Yaʿqūb ibn Shaybah, and Yūsuf.
