167 – al-Bawsi, al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā ibn Ibrāhīm
The musnid and long-lived scholar Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUbayd Allāh al-Abnawī (1), a Yemeni from Ṣanʿāʾ known as al-Bawsi, was a close companion of ʿAbd al-Razzaq. Al-Khalīlī states that he heard roughly fifty hadiths from him.
Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Salama al-Qaṭṭān reports that al-Bawsi himself said, “I was born in 194 AH, and I heard ʿAbd al-Razzaq in 210 AH.”
I say: Those who narrated from him include Abū ʿAwāna in his Ṣaḥīḥ, Aḥmad ibn Shuʿayb al-Anṭākī, Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Jammāl—the resident of Bukhara—his grandson ʿAbd al-Aʿlā ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan al-Bawsi, Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Salama, Abū al-Qāsim al-Ṭabarānī, and many others.
I know of no criticism levelled against him.
Al-Bawsi is spelled with an open bāʾ and an undotted sīn.
Abū al-Qāsim Ibn Manda said he died in 286 AH.
168 – Ibn Barra, Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Barra al-Ṣanʿānī
He heard hadiths from ʿAbd al-Razzaq and was one of the four shaykhs from among ʿAbd al-Razzaq’s pupils whom al-Ṭabarānī met.
He likewise died in 286 AH (2), in Yemen.
