He transmitted ḥadith from Hishām ibn ʿAmmār, Qāsim ibn ʿUthmān al-Juʿī, and a number of others.
Those who narrated from him include his son Ibrāhīm, Abū Muḥammad ibn Dhakwān, Abū Hāshim ʿAbd al-Jabbār al-Muʾaddib, Abū Sulaymān ibn Zabr, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Rāzī, ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Kilābī, and others besides them.
It is said that he used to dye his beard red.
Some of his narrations have reached us.
He passed away in Rabīʿ al-Ākhir of the year 323 AH—so stated Abū Sulaymān ibn Zabr.
304 – Badr ibn al-Haytham ibn Khalaf, Abū al-Qāsim al-Lakhmī *
The judge, jurist, truthful and long-lived scholar: Abū al-Qāsim al-Lakhmī, a Kufan by origin who settled in Baghdad.
He was born in Kūfa in 200 AH, or one year thereafter. Had he pursued ḥadith as one ought, he would have taken from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Mūsā, Abū Nuʿaym, and the other great authorities; instead, in middle age he heard from Abū Kurayb, Abū Saʿīd al-Ashajj, Hārūn ibn Isḥāq, Hishām ibn Yūnus, ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Awdī, and more than one other.
Among those who transmitted from him were Abū ʿAmr ibn Ḥayyūyah, ʿUmar ibn Shāhīn, Abū Bakr ibn al-Muqriʾ, ʿĪsā ibn al-Wazīr, and a group besides.
Al-Dāraqutnī said: “He reached one hundred and seventeen years of age; he was trustworthy and distinguished.”
