Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Among those who transmitted from him were al-Hasan ibn ʿAllawayh, Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Badhshī (1), and Abū al-ʿAbbās ibn Ḥamkawayh.

9 – Ḥammād ibn Isḥāq ibn Ismāʿīl al-Baghdādī
The son of the eminent Imam Ḥammād ibn Zayd; a ḥāfiẓ, distinguished scholar, and judge. He was known as Abū Ismāʿīl al-Azdī, al-Baghdādī, a Mālikī, and the brother of the judge Ismāʿīl. From what I can ascertain, he was the elder of the two brothers.

He studied under Muslim ibn Ibrāhīm, al-Qaʿnabī, Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Uways, and several others.

He wrote works on the Mālikī school and pursued legal study with Aḥmad ibn al-Muʿaddal.

Those who narrated from him include his son Ibrāhīm, the jurist-judge al-Maḥāmilī, and Abū Bakr al-Kharāʾiṭī.

Al-Khaṭīb (2) declared him trustworthy.

He used to associate with the caliphs, but al-Muhtadī bi-Llāh became angry with him, had him beaten, paraded him publicly over a certain matter, and dismissed his brother from the judiciary.

He died in Sūs in 267 AH, having once held the judgeship of Baghdad, and he was nearly seventy years old.
