[Wafayát al-a`yán wa-anbá' abná' al-zamán, Ibn Khallikán, Abú'l `Abbás Shams al-Dín A<mad b. Mu<ammad al-Irbilí, Delhi: Kitab Bhavan (7 vols), 1996, vol 3, p 199 ]

[373] Abú Bakr `Abd al-Razzáq Ibn Hammám Ibn Náfi` al-@an`ání was allied, by right of enfranchisement, to the tribe of \imyar. Abu Sa`d al-Sam`ání says of him: "It is stated that, after the death of the Prophet [#], no one had so many visitors from distant countries as he." He taught the Traditions on the authority of Ma`mar Ibn Ráshid, a mawlá of the tribe of Azd and a native of Ba#rah(see Introduction, note), al-Awzá'í, Ibn Jurayj, and others. The chief imáms of Islamism in that period cited him as their authority for some of the Traditions which they taught; amongst the number were Sufyán Ibn `Uyyanah (who was one of his own masters), A<mad ibn \anbal and Ya<yá Ibn Ma`ín.[1] He was born A.H. 126 (A.C. 743-4), and he died in the month of Shawwál, A.H. 211 (January, A.C. 827) in Yaman. @an`ání means belonging to @an`á, one of the most celebrated cities in Yaman. In forming this relative adjective an n is added, as in Bahrání derived from Bahrá [2] but such cases are of rare occurrence.[*]

[1] The lives of all these doctors will be found in this work.

[2] Ba<rá is the name of a tribe sprung from Qu_á`ah.

[*] In `Abd al-\amíd following passage occurs: Abú Mu<ammad `Abd Alláh ibn al-\árith al-@an`ání said: "I heard `Abd al-Razzáq saying: He experiences disgrace who associates one for a long time. He continued : I heard him reciting: That was the time we amuse with it, and now it amuses with us.

Many scholars have considered him reliable. His traditions have been narrated in the @i<á< and he is unique for other than that as well. Some have harboured malice against him for his Shí'ism (wa naqamú `alayhi bi al-tashayyu`) although he was not extreme in it (wa má kána yaghlú fíhi). He loved `Alí, may Alláh be pleased with him, and was derogatory towards those who fought with him.
