It was recorded by Muslim and al-Nasa’i through Yaʿqūb.
52 – Bundār Muḥammad ibn Bashshār ibn ʿUthmān ibn Dāwūd ibn Kaysān* (ʿ)
The Imām, ḥāfiẓ, and chronicler of Islam, Abū Bakr al-ʿAbdī al-Baṣrī—nicknamed Bundār because, in his own town and era, he was regarded as the “storehouse” (bundār) of ḥadīth. (The very term bundār denotes a ḥāfiẓ.)
He was born in 167 AH.
He narrated from Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ; Muʿtamir ibn Sulaymān; Marḥūm ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-ʿAṭṭār; ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbd al-Ṣamad al-ʿAmmī; Ghundar; Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd; ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī; ʿUmar ibn ʿAlī; al-Ṭufāwī; Bahz ibn Asad; ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī; Muʿādh ibn Muʿādh; Muʿādh ibn Hishām; Yazīd ibn Hārūn; Wakīʿ, and many others.
He even took transmission from Ḥajjāj ibn Minhāl, ʿAffān, Abū al-Walīd, and several others.
He compiled the ḥadīth corpus of Baṣrah, refraining from travel out of filial devotion to his mother; only after her death did he set out on his journeys.
Those who transmitted from him include the Six Compilers in their books, as well as Abū Zurʿah, Abū Ḥātim, Ibrāhīm al-Ḥarbī, Baqī ibn Makhlad, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad, and Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Sarrāj.
