Biography

edit

Al-Darimi came from the family tribe of Banu Darim ibn Malik ibn Hanzala ibn Zayd ibn Manah ibn Tamim, or the Arab Banu Tamim tribe.[9] He is also known as al-Tamimi, in relation to Tamim ibn Murrah, who was one of the ancestors of Banu Darim.[10]

Al-Darimi stated, "I was born in the same year Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak died, and Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak died in 181 AH."[11][verify]

Al-Darimi narrated hadith from Yazid ibn Harun [ar], Abd Allah ibn Awn, and others. A number of scholars also narrated hadiths from him, including Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and Abu Zur'a al-Razi.
