—Rajaʾ ibn Murajja related to us; Abū Hammām al-Dallāl related to us; Saʿīd ibn al-Sāʾib related to us, from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿIyāḍ, from ʿUthmān ibn Abī al-ʿĀṣ:
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, instructed him to build the mosque of Ṭāʾif on the very spot where their idols had once stood (1).

Among the material I possess from al-Najjād’s transmission are: the book al-Nāsikh by Abū Dāwūd; the fascicle Juzʾ al-Tarājim; the second part of Fawāʾid al-Ḥāj; five sessions (majālis); one separate session; and a fascicle from which I have cited the report just mentioned. The same report also appears in the Amālī al-Bishrāniyya, in the Amālī of Abū al-Muṭīʿ, in the Mustakhraj of Abū ʿAlī ibn Shādhān, in the first and second volumes of Abū al-Ḥusayn ibn Bishrān—both of which include al-Lālkāʾī’s selections—in ten sessions recorded by al-Ḥurfī, in the Thaqafiyyāt (2), in several fascicles by Yaḥyā al-Muzakkī, in al-Bulfasa, and in other collections.

286 – Ibn al-Ḥajjām, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masrūr al-Tujībī, their client
He was the leading Mālikī scholar in Qayrawān: Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Hāshim Masrūr al-Tujībī, their mawla, the Ifrīqī, universally known as Ibn al-Ḥajjām (3), an eminent and widely-celebrated imam.

He studied under many authorities and heard hadith from ʿĪsā ibn Miskīn, Ibn Abī Sulaymān, and others.

Those who transmitted from him include Abū Muḥammad ibn Abī Zayd and several other scholars.
