Overview
Muhammad ibn Sirin, one of the Successors. Al-Baladhuri says that he is the son of Sirin, who was taken captive in the church of Ayn al-Tamr with his brothers Yahya, Anas and Ma'bad, and that he was the eldest of them. They were clients of Anas ibn Malik al-Ansari. 1
Al-Mas'udi says that he died a hundred nights after al-Hasan al-Basri, in 110 AH, aged eighty-one. The children of Sirin were five brothers, all of whom transmitted the Sunan. 2
Al-Shirazi says that he died in 110 AH at the age of seventy-seven. The disagreement about his age is recorded here and not decided. 3
Al-Salabi says that al-Hasan al-Basri preferred him over others. He relates that Amr ibn Dinar said he had not seen the like of Tawus, and Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani replied that if Ibn Sirin had seen him he would not have said so. 4
