(3) In manuscript B it adds “up to fifty dirhams.” (4) Al-Tabari and Ibn al-Athir both record him as Abu Isa ibn al-Rashid. Al-Tabari mentions all his sons in his Tarikh (vol. 8:360), Ibn al-Athir in his al-Kamil (vol. 6:216), and Ibn Kathir in al-Bidaya wa-l-Nihaya (vol. 10:222). (5) Bishr ibn ‘Umar al-Zahrani al-Basri, Abu Muhammad, the reliable imam and hafiz. See Siyar A‘lam al-Nubala’ (vol. 9:417).

His actual name is ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghazwan al-Khuza‘i. He is also called al-Dabbi or Abu Nuh, nicknamed Qurad. He settled in Baghdad, was counted among the hadith scholars, and attracted some criticism. See Siyar A‘lam al-Nubala’ (vol. 9:518). (9) Kathir ibn Hisham al-Kilabi, Abu Sahl al-Raqqi, resident of Baghdad, reliable. See Taqrib al-Tahdhib (vol. 2:134).

He was trustworthy, sound in hadith, and well versed in Arabic, poetry, and the lives of notable figures. See Siyar A‘lam al-Nubala’ (vol. 9:508).
