He also had other teachers from whom he did not transmit in his Sahih, such as ʿAlī ibn al-Jaʿd, ʿAlī ibn al-Madīnī, and Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Dhuhlī.
Al-Ḥākim, when listing Muslim’s teachers, mentioned Abū Ghassān Mālik al-Nahdī; yet Muslim only narrates from him through an intermediary and never actually met him, for Abū Ghassān—together with Abū Nuʿaym—died in the year 219 AH.
