He studied under his grandfather Saʿd ibn al-Salt, the judge. This grandfather was a Kufan contemporary of Wakīʿ and served for a time as the judge of Shiraz. Shadhān later journeyed on and heard ḥadith from Abū Dāwūd al-Tayālisī, Wahb ibn Jarīr, al-Aswad ibn ʿĀmir Shadhān, and others of their generation.
Those who narrated from him include: Abū Bakr ibn Abī Dāwūd—who travelled to meet him—Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī al-Jārūdī, Naṣr ibn Abī Naṣr al-Shīrāzī, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Khirāsh the ḥāfiẓ, Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar al-Jurjīrī, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥamzah ibn ʿUmārah.
We possess some of his reports in the collection entitled al-Thaqafiyyāt.

Abū Ḥātim al-Bustī also listed him in al-Thiqāt, stating: “He died when seven days remained of Jumādā al-Ākhirah in 267 AH.”
