Sulaiman ibn Dawood ibn Al-Jarood, commonly known as Abu Dawud at-Tayalisi, was a noted Iraqi early collector of prophetic hadith, and wrote the Musnad ''Musnad at-Tayalisi''. While one of the famous six books of Hadith is that of Abu Dawood (d. 275H), that is a different scholar who was less than 2 years of age when the scholar we are introducing here died. ==Biography== We know that Abu Dawood Al-Tayalisi was born in 133 A.H., corresponding to C.E. 751, but we do not know where he was born. Indeed we know next to nothing about his early period of life. But we know that he lived in Basrah in southern Iraq, and we can conclude that he started his studies when he was quite young. he transmitted a fair number of Hadiths which he learnt from Ibn Awn, who died in Basrah in 151, and Hisham Al-Dastawaie, who died in the same city in 152 A.H., when Al-Tayalisi was only 19 years of age. It was not long after this date that he traveled to Baghdad to pursue his studies, which means that he was in his early twenties. Normally young scholars did not travel for study until they had completed their learning under the scholars of their own hometown. Basrah was a very important center of learning, with a large number of prominent scholars. Al-Tayalisi could not have completed his studies under them by that age, unless he had started very early in his youth. Al-Tayalisi traveled far to learn from scholars but, in addition to Basrah and Baghdad, his main teachers were in Kufah and Madinah. Wherever he went, he worked hard and learnt Hadith from all main scholars. In his book of Hadith, he transmits Hadiths he directly heard from no less than 250 scholars, but he says that he recorded Hadiths he heard from 1000 scholars. This was an achievement that is rarely matched, except by the great pillars of Hadith scholarship such as Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Yahya ibn Maeen, Al-Bukhari and Muslim. To mention only a few of Al-Tayalisi’s main teachers in Hadith we begin with Shuʿba Ibn al-Ḥajjāj, who was the universally acknowledged master of Hadith scholarship. He was one of the early scholars who laid down the foundations of Hadith as a major discipline of Islamic studies. Shu’bah died in 160, when Al-Tayalisi was only 27, but he heard from him no less than 7,000 Hadiths. Hammad ibn Salamah, Abu Awanah, Muhammad ibn Abd Al-Rahman who was better known as Ibn Abil Dhi’b, and Warqa’ ibn Umar were also among the highly distinguished teachers with whom Al-Tayalisi was associated. Al-Tayalisi was considered a highly reliable Hadith reporter by all scholars of Hadith, although Al-Bukhari does not include his reporting in his Sahih. This attitude by Al-Bukhari is not the result of any poor opinion he might have had of him. The reason is that Al-Bukhari heard directly from a number of Al-Tayalisi’s colleagues and contemporaries who died much later. Had Al-Bukhari wished to relate Hadiths transmitted by Al-Tayalisi, he would have had to include these through reporters who heard them from Al-Tayalisi. Relating these Hadiths through Al-Tayalisi’s colleagues, rather than his students meant that Al-Bukhari included them through shorter chains of transmission. Traveling to meet scholars and read under them, or hear them teaching, was an important part of Hadith scholarship. A young scholar would travel to meet as many teachers as possible. When he becomes well established and gain acceptance as a reliable scholar, people travel to meet him and learn from him. Al-Tayalisi attained that status and scholars traveled specially to meet him and hear the Hadith from him. Moreover, he traveled to a number of places to dictate Hadith in special circles. He traveled to Khurasan in today’s Iran, where he dictated no less than one hundred thousand Hadiths he had memorized. When he went back home to Basrah, he wrote to those who attended his circle in Khurasan that he made mistakes in 70 places, and told them to correct those mistakes. This testifies to his sharp memory, as the ratio is almost one mistake in every 1500 Hadiths. His students were numerous, and a number of them achieved great fame as scholars in their own right. Perhaps his most famous student was Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Yunus ibn Habeeb. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abu Dawud at-Tayalisi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
