Abd al-Razzaq ibn Hammam ibn Nafi' al-San'ani (Arabic: عبد الرزاق بن همام بن نافع الصنعاني, romanized: ʿAbd al-Razzāq ibn Hammām ibn Nāfiʿ al-Ṣanʿānī, 744 – January 827 CE, 126–211 AH), a Yemeni hadith scholar who compiled a hadith collection known as the Musannaf of Abd al-Razzaq.

Biography

[edit]

Abd al-Razzaq was born in 126 AH/744 CE to a father who was a hadith scholar. At the age of 20, he began his studies in Sanaa where he was a student of Ma'mar ibn Rashid for eight years, also learning under Ibn Jurayj, Sufyan ibn ʽUyaynah and Sufyan al-Thawri. In pursuit of hadith, Abd al-Razzaq journeyed to the Hejaz, Syria and Iraq. When attending the lectures of scholars to learn hadith through audition, he reportedly brought several scribes with him to assist in recording them. In the latter half of the second Hijri century, he compiled his own musannaf, consisting mostly of traditions transmitted by his teachers. He also taught hadith. Among those who transmitted from him were Yaḥya ibn Maʻin, Ali ibn al-Madini and Ahmad ibn Hanbal. He died in mid-Shawwal 211 AH/early January 827 CE.[1][2][3][4]
