al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan al-Marwazi

Al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan ibn Harb al-Sulami al-Marwazi, a resident of Mecca, is the narrator through whom the text of Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak's Kitab al-Zuhd wa-l-Raqa'iq reached us in its best-known recension. ^{1 2}

Ahmad Farid quotes Ibn Hajar: he transmitted from Ibn al-Mubarak, Hushaym, Yazid ibn Zuray', Ibn Ulayya, Ibn Uyayna, Abu Mu'awiya, al-Walid ibn Muslim, al-Fadl ibn Musa al-Sinani and others; and from him transmitted al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Baqi ibn Makhlad, Ibn Abi Asim, Dawud ibn Ali ibn Khalaf, Ibn Sa'id and others. ¹

Ibn Abi Hatim reports that his father heard from him in Mecca and, asked about him, called him truthful; Ibn Hibban listed him among the trustworthy and said he died in 246; Maslama called him trustworthy. ¹

At the start of al-A'zami's text, Ibn Sa'id narrates the book from him, and the chain gives the year 245 for his hearing from Ibn al-Mubarak. ³ He added reports not through Ibn al-Mubarak, which Ahmad Farid counts among the students' "additions", and sometimes paired another teacher's report with Ibn al-Mubarak's as corroboration, as in the first report, from al-Fadl ibn Musa. ^{4 3}

• The year 245 in the chain is read from the scan, where the editor notes a disorder in the chain in his footnote.
