Biography
[edit]Abd al-Rahman ibn Ibrahim was born in 787 CE.[2] He belonged to a family of mawali of the Quraysh, thus his nisba al-Qurashī.[3] He was also known as Ibn al-Yatīm (son of al-Yatim), in reference the freedman al-Yatim.
Duhaym was associated with the Awza'i maddhab (school of thought).[4] He occasionally visited Baghdad and was deeply respected by the prominent scholars Ibn Hanbal and Yahya ibn Ma'in.[4] He was either a pupil or teacher of Ibn Hanbal.[4] Amongst Duhaym's students include the renowned Hanbalis Ibrahim al-Harbi and Hanbal ibn Ishaq.[4] Abu Dawud al-Sijistani is reported to have said about Duhaymː "Duhaym is reliable. No one in Damascus was like him in his time".[1]
