“Al-Musnad al-Kabir.” Fuad Sezgin suggests that what has reached us of it consists of excerpts in manuscripts, which he mentions in his History of Arabic Heritage – Ulum al-Quran wa al-Hadith (vol. 1, part 1, p. 216). I have not examined the Musnad itself, nor have I accessed al-Muntakhab min Musnad Abd ibn Humayd, edited by Shaykh Salim bin Abdullah al-Dukhail as a doctoral dissertation in the Department of Sunna and its Sciences at the Faculty of Usul al-Din in Riyadh. In it Abd ibn Humayd (may God have mercy on him) includes hadiths on the divine attributes; see al-Muntakhab (vol. 1, p. 217, hadith 184; p. 346, hadith 348; p. 562, hadith 561; vol. 2, p. 920, hadith 909; p. 937, hadith 926; p. 959, hadith 947). For further references, see al-Dhahabi, Tadhkirat al-Huffaz (vol. 2, p. 534); Ibn Hajar, Tahdhib al-Tahdhib (vol. 6, pp. 455, 457); Hajji Khalifa, Kashf al-Zunun (vol. 2, p. 1679); al-Zarkali, al-A'lam (vol. 4, p. 41); Khatala, Mu'jam al-Mu'allifin (vol. 5, p. 66); Brockelmann, History of Arabic Literature (vol. 3, pp. 157–158). (1) He is Ahmed ibn Ali ibn al-Muthanna ibn Yahya al-Tamimi al-Mawsili, a hadith scholar and one of the reliable transmitters; he died in 307 AH. He authored a Musnad. Ismail ibn Muhammad ibn al-Fadl al-Tamimi al-Hafiz said of him, as reported by al-Kattani in al-Risala al-Mustatrafa (p. 54): “I have read Musnads such as Musnad al-Adli and Musnad ibn Mani' flowing like rivers, and Musnad Abi Ya'la like the sea, where rivers converge.” A number of volumes have been published under the editorship of Husayn Salim Asad, who is preparing a critical edition in the Department of Sunna and its Sciences at the Faculty of Usul al-Din in Riyadh for academic degrees, though the project remains unfinished. Al-Mawsili also included hadiths on the divine attributes; see, for example, vol. 1, p. 209, hadith 243; vol. 2, p. 285, hadiths 1004, 1006. For manuscript copies and their locations, see Brockelmann, History of Arabic Literature (vol. 3, p. 160) and Sezgin, History of Arabic Heritage – Ulum al-Quran wa al-Hadith (vol. 1, part 1, p. 335).
