Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Khuzaymah (Arabic: أبو بكر محمد بن إسحاق بن خزيمة, 837 CE/223 AH[3] – 923 CE/311 AH[3]) was a prominent Muslim hadith and Shafi'i fiqh scholar,[1][2] best known for his hadith collection Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah.

Biography

He was born in Nishapur a year earlier than Ibn Jarir al-Tabari and outlived him by one year. In Nishapur, he studied under its scholars, including Ishaq Ibn Rahwayh (died 238 AH), the muhaddith of Khorasan at the time,[3] as well as with al-Bukhari and Muslim.[2]

Works

Al-Hakim recorded that Ibn Khuzaymah wrote more than 140 books.[3] Little of what he wrote survives today:[3]
