(1) He is Abu Muhammad ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Hatim Muhammad b. Idris al-Razi, the preserver of Rayy and son of its preserver, reliable (thabbit). He combined excellence in narration with mastery of the discipline. He authored beneficial works such as al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta‘dīl and al-Tafsīr al-Kabīr, among others. He died in 327 AH. See Mīzān al-I‘tidāl by al-Dhahabī, vol. 2, pp. 587–588; Ṭabaqāt al-Shāfi‘iyya by al-Subkī, vol. 3, pp. 324–328; Fawāt al-Wafayāt by al-Kutbī, vol. 2, pp. 287–288. (2) Originally it read “al-Mughrī.” In the printed edition it appears as “al-Muḍrī.” His correct name is al-Miṣrī: Muhammad b. al-Ḥajjāj al-Ḥaḍramī al-Miṣrī. Ibn Abi Hatim described him as ṣidq thaqa (truthful and reliable). See al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta‘dīl by Ibn Abi Hatim, vol. 2, pt. 3, p. 235, no. 1284; Mīzān al-I‘tidāl by al-Dhahabī, vol. 3, p. 511. (3) In the printed edition it reads “Ya‘lā,” which is erroneous. He is Ma‘lā b. al-Walīd b. ‘Abd al-‘Azīz b. al-Qa‘qā‘ al-Qaysī, who narrated from Mūsā b. ‘Uyayna and Yazīd b. Sa‘īd b. Dhī ‘Asrān. See Lisān al-Mīzān by Ibn Ḥajar, vol. 6, pp. 65–66. (4) In Sharḥ ʿAqā’id Ahl al-Sunna it appears as “al-Ghazārī,” which is incorrect. His name is al-Fazārī, as recorded in al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta‘dīl (vol. 2, pt. 3, p. 86, no. 486) when Ibn Abi Hatim mentions Faraj b. Yazīd al-Kalʿī and states that ‘Uṭba al-Fazārī narrated from him. He is ‘Uṭba b. al-Sakkan al-Farārī, who transmitted from al-Awzāʿī. Al-Daraqutnī described him as maṭrūk al-ḥadīth (whose hadith are abandoned), and Ibn Ḥajar notes that Ibn Hibban, in al-Thiqāt, stated he errs and contradicts. See Mīzān al-I‘tidāl by al-Dhahabī, vol. 3, p. 28; Lisān al-Mīzān by Ibn Ḥajar, vol. 4, p. 128. (5) The text enclosed in parentheses is missing in the manuscript.
