Ibn ʿAdī said in al-Kāmil (14/2):

“ʿAbdān al-Ahwāzī told us: I asked al-Faḍl ibn Sahl al-Aʿraj and Ibn Ishkāb about this Muḥammad ibn Ziyād al-Burjumī, and they said: ‘He is one of our trustworthy scholars.’”

Ibn Ḥibbān included him in al-Thiqāt and said (2/267):

“He narrates from Thābit al-Bunānī, and the people of Basra narrate from him.”

I say: Abū Ḥātim al-Rāzī did not recognize him. His son said (3/2/258): “I asked him about him, and he replied: ‘He is unknown.’”

Ḥammād ibn Zayd corroborated him with another wording:

“Whoever supports two daughters, or three daughters, or two sisters, or three sisters, until they die—in one narration: until they grow up, and in another: until they reach maturity—or he dies before them, he and I shall be like these two.” He gestured with his index and middle fingers.

296 — “Whoever supports two daughters, or three daughters, or two sisters, or three sisters, until they die—in one narration: until they grow up, and in another: until they reach maturity—or he dies before them, he and I shall be like these two.” He gestured with his index and middle fingers.

Aḥmad transmitted it (3/147–148): Yūnus narrated to us; Ḥammād—that is, Ibn Zayd—narrated to us, from Thābit, from Anas or someone else, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, said—and he then cited it.

Ibn Ḥibbān also transmitted it (2045) through two other chains from Ḥammād ibn Zayd with the same wording, but without saying, “or someone else”; and he has the second variant.

I say: This is an authentic chain of transmission meeting the criteria of the two Shaykhs.

Al-Haythamī cited it in al-Majmaʿ (8/157), with similar wording, from al-Ṭabarānī’s al-Awsaṭ through two chains, and said: “The narrators of one of them are the narrators of the Ṣaḥīḥ.”

I say: He has the third variant, and what further supports this variant is that it is established through another route
