Al-Nasāʾī also said, “Ishāq ibn Mūsā related to us; Maʿn related to us; Mālik related to us, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Idrīs, from Shuʿbah, from Saʿd ibn Ibrāhīm, from his father, who said:

‘ʿUmar sent for Ibn Masʿūd, Abū al-Dardāʾ, and Abū Masʿūd and asked, “What is this profusion of reports you are narrating from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?” He then confined them in Medina until he himself was martyred.’

This is a singular hadith.

The same narration is transmitted by ʿAbd Allāh ibn Nājiya and others on the authority of Isḥāq al-Khaṭmī.

It is said that he died at Jūsiyya—a small locality belonging to Ḥimṣ—in 244 AH.

His son, Mūsā ibn Isḥāq, ranked among the eminent leading scholars of the religion.

By Allah’s help and His enabling grace, volume eleven is now complete. What follows is volume twelve, which opens with the biography of Yaḥyā ibn Aktham.
