He was a ḥāfiẓ and historian; among his works is al-Mustakhraj ʿalā al-Ṣaḥīḥayn (“Excerpt on the Two Ṣaḥīḥs”). See Tadhkirat al-Ḥuffāẓ by al-Dhahabī 3:1092–1098; Lisān al-Mīzān by Ibn Ḥajar 1:201; al-Risāla al-Mustatrafa by al-Kettānī, p. 23; Al-ʿAlām by al-Zarkalī 1:150; Muʿjam al-Muʾallifīn (Kaḥḥāla) 1:282. (2) In the original it appears as al-Jawdhiqī, which is erroneous, as confirmed by both the manuscript and the printed edition. He is Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Shaybānī al-Juzqī, nisba to the village of Juzq near Nishapur; born 306 AH, died 388 AH. His works include al-Ṣaḥīḥ al-Mukhrij ʿalā Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (“The Ṣaḥīḥ Extracted from Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim”), abridged by ḥāfiẓ Abū ʿAwana Yaʿqūb ibn Isḥāq. See Tadhkirat al-Ḥuffāẓ by al-Dhahabī 3:1013; al-Wāfī bil-Wafayāt by al-Ṣafdī 3:316; Shadharāt al-Dhahab by Ibn ʿImād 3:129–130; Kashf al-Ẓunūn by Ḥājī Khalīfa 2:1685; al-Risāla al-Mustatrafa by al-Kettānī, p. 22; Al-ʿAlām by al-Zarkalī 7:99; Muʿjam al-Muʾallifīn (Kaḥḥāla) 10:240; and Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums by Sezgin (Qurʾān and Ḥadīth Sciences 1/1:429). Apart from his Ṣaḥīḥ, the only other work recorded is the manuscript al-Jamʿ bayna al-Ṣaḥīḥayn (“The Collection between the Two Ṣaḥīḥs”). (3) He is Abū Salama Ḥumād ibn Salama ibn Dīnār al-Baṣrī al-Bazzāz al-Baṭāʾinī, the ḥāfiẓ, muḥaddith, grammarian and muftī of Basra. Al-Dhahabī reports that Ibn al-Mubārak said: “I have never seen anyone more like the ways of the salaf than Ḥumād.” Among his writings is the Sunan; the shaykh (may Allāh have mercy on him) will note on p. 159 that he authored Kitāb al-Ṣifāt (“The Book of Attributes”). He died 167 AH.
