Overview
Abu Khalid Abd al-Rahman ibn Ziyad ibn An'am al-Ma'afiri al-Sha'bani, a scholar, transmitter of hadith and judge, who transmitted hadith and held the judgeship. The "Encyclopaedia of the Biographies of Scholars and Men of Letters" mentions him in Ifriqiya and gives his birth as 75 AH and his death as 161 AH, as reported figures, not verified ones. 1
The data gives no more than this; a second source is needed for his teachers and students.
