The imam, ḥāfiẓ, and trustworthy authority—the principal ḥadīth scholar of Qazwīn—Abū Zakariyyā Yaḥyā ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿẓam al-Qazwīnī, was a learned scholar, prolific author, and a man of high standing. He was a contemporary of Ibn Mājah, yet his chains of transmission were higher and he was the elder.

He heard ḥadīth from Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Muqriʾ, ʿAffān, al-Qaʿnabī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Rajāʾ, al-Ḥumaydī, Ḥassān ibn Ḥassān, and their peers.

Those who transmitted from him include Abū Nuʿaym ibn ʿAdī, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Ḥātim, Jaʿfar ibn Idrīs—the imam of the Sacred Mosque—Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Salamah, and others.

Abū Yaʿlā al-Khalīlī said: “He is reliable; there is unanimous agreement on that.”

He died in 271 AH.
