Ibn Ḥabīb—Muʿtamir narrated it to us, from his father.
Abū ʿAlī, may Allah have mercy on him, was martyred at the hands of the Qarmatians in 294 AH. Abū ʿAbd Allah al-Ḥākim, however, maintained that he died at the very end of 295 AH.
262 – Ibn Salm, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad al-Rāzī
The ḥāfiẓ, meticulous transmitter, erudite scholar, and Qurʾānic exegete—Abū Yaḥyā ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn Salm al-Rāzī, later al-Iṣbahānī—served as the imam of the congregational mosque of Isfahān.
He transmitted from Sahl ibn ʿUthmān, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Yaḥyā, al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿĪsā al-Zuhri, and many others.
He would even narrate from the pupils of Yazīd ibn Hārūn and Abū Dāwūd.
Those who narrated from him include the judge Abū Aḥmad al-ʿAssāl, Abū al-Qāsim al-Ṭabarānī, Abū Shaykh Ibn Ḥayyān (1), ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Siyāh, and others.
It is also recorded by Muslim in his Sahih (no. 1251), Book of Hajj, chapter “The Prophet’s talbiyah and sacrificial animals,” and by al-Nasaʾi, 3/150, through the chain of Hushaym from Yahya ibn Abi Ishaq, ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ibn Suhayb and Humayd, who all heard Anas say: “I heard the Messenger of Allah proclaim for both rites together: ‘Labbayka ʿumratan wa-ḥajjan, labbayka ʿumratan wa-ḥajjan.’” Ahmad transmits it as well (3/207) with two isnads from Saʿid, from Qatadah, from Anas, and al-Bukhari cites it (3/327) in the Book of Hajj, chapter “Praising, glorifying and proclaiming Allah’s greatness before the talbiyah when mounting,” and again (3/442) in the chapter “Slaughtering the camel while it is standing,” through Wahb, from Ayyub, from Abu Qilabah, from Anas. Biographical works that mention him include: Dhikr Akhbar Isbahan 2/112-113; Tadhkirat al-Huffaz 2/690-691; al-Nujum al-Zahirah 3/133 (where he is called “Ibn Muslim”); Tabaqat al-Huffaz p. 300; Tabaqat al-Mufassirin 1/282; and Tabaqat al-Muhaddithin bi-Isbahan p. 124.
