Among those who narrated from him was Abū al-ʿInāʾ.

Abū al-Ṣaqr Muḥammad ibn Dāwūd said, “My father served as chief of police for Manṣūr in Damascus. Manṣūr secretly had someone steal the crystal jug from the congregational mosque. When the imam noticed the vacant spot, he struck the ground with his cap and cried out, ‘Your jug has been stolen!’ The people then exclaimed, ‘There is no prayer after the jug,’ and the phrase became proverbial. The jug had been taken for al-Amin, but al-Maʾmūn later restored it to its place.

The emir Manṣūr lived on until the year 236 AH.

106 – al-Samīn Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥātim ibn Maymūn al-Marwazī* (cited in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim and Sunan Abū Dāwūd)

The imam, ḥāfiẓ, meticulous scholar, and Qur’an exegete Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥātim ibn Maymūn al-Marwazī—later of Baghdad—known as al-Samīn.

He heard ḥadith from Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Idrīs, Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUlayyah, Yaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān, Wakīʿ ibn al-Jarrāḥ, and many others.

Those who transmitted from him include Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, al-Ḥasan ibn Sufyān, Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Ṣūfī, and others.

Ibn ʿAdī and al-Dāraqutnī judged him reliable.

Ibn Saʿd said, “He compiled a book on Qur’anic exegesis that people copied from him in Baghdad.”
