Ibn Rāhwayh
Abū Ya'qūb Ishāq ibn Ibrāhim ibn Machlad ibn Ibrāhim al-Hanzalī al-Marwazī ( Arabic أبو يعقوب إسحاق بن إبراهيم بن مخلد بن إبراهيم الحنظلي المروزي, DMG Abū Yaʿqūb Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm b. Maḫlad b. Ibrāhīm al-Ḥanẓalī al-Marwazī ), known by the name Ibn Rāhwayh ( Arabic ابن رَاهَوَيْه, DMG Ibn Rāhawaih ; * 778 or 782 in Marw ; † 853 in Naisabur ) was a traditionarian in Khorasan . He was, among other things, the teacher of Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj and Ahmad ibn Hanbal .
Ibn Rāhwayh was born in Marw in 161 or 166 of the Islamic calendar (778 or 782-83). He traveled to Iraq, the Hejaz , Yemen and Syria, visited Baghdad several times and finally settled in Naisabur , where he died in 853. Later sources increase the number of his teachers almost indefinitely, but among the most important are 'Abd Allaah ibn al-Mubārak and Sufyān ibn' Uyayna. As a traditionalist he was naturally hostile to the independent legal finding within Islamic jurisprudence , the Ra'y . Numerous stories circulated about his extraordinary memory. However, it is reported that he fell into a mental disorder five months before his death and that his lack of proficiency in secular matters contradicted his thorough knowledge of religious subjects. Der Fihrist , the large catalog raisonné of Ibn an-Nadīm , contains three book titles from his hand.
