177 – Ibn Yasin, Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Harawī*
The shaykh, ḥadith master, narrator, and historian: Abū Isḥāq Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yasin al-Harawī, the blacksmith, author of the History of Herat.

He heard ḥadith from ʿUthmān ibn Saʿīd al-Dārimī, Mūsā ibn Aḥmad al-Firyābī, ʿUbayd ibn Muḥammad al-Warraq, the ḥadith master, Muʿādh ibn al-Muthannā, al-Faḍl ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Yashkurī, and their peers.

Those who transmitted from him include Abū ʿAbd Allah ibn Abī Dhuhl, Manṣūr ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Khālidī, al-Khalīl ibn Aḥmad the judge, Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Bāshānī, and others; he, however, is not regarded as an authority.

Al-Khalīlī said: “He is not strong; he relates copies of works for which no corroboration exists” (2).

Al-Dāraqutnī said: “Abandoned” (3).

Al-Sulamī reports from al-Dāraqutnī that he said, “He is worse than Abū Bishr al-Marwazī,” and he declared both of them to be liars (4).
