سويد بن سعيد الأنباري

ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUbayd Allāh related to us. He said: I heard Khalaf al-Samarqandī say: Suwayd ibn Saʿīd al-Anbārī related to us. He said: I heard Ibn ʿUyayna say: The first person to have me sit to relate hadith was Abū Ḥanīfa, may God be pleased with him. Abū Ḥanīfa gathered with the senior shaykhs, who asked me about the reports of ʿAmr ibn Dīnār, and I related them. Abū Ḥanīfa, may God be pleased with him, said: “This man is among the most knowledgeable people concerning the reports of ʿAmr ibn Dīnār.”
