Abū Zuhayr ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Maghrāʾ al-Dawsī

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Saʿīd informed us. He said: Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Ḥārithī related to us. He said: Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿUtba related to us. He said: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Maghrāʾ related to us, from Abū Ḥanīfa, from Ḥammād, from Anas ibn Mālik, God be pleased with him, that he used to stay with Abū Bakr ibn Abī Mūsā in Wasit and send messengers to the market to buy nabīdh for him from the large jars.

Nabīdh is a drink made by steeping dates or raisins; the report does not specify its strength.

Muḥammad ibn Rajjāz ibn Quraysh al-Bukhārī related to us. He said: Naṣr ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Bukhārī related to us. He said: I heard ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Maghrāʾ, from Abū Ḥanīfa, from Ḥammād, from Ibrāhīm—God have mercy on them—who said: For a bone-fracturing head wound, compensation is to be judicially assessed.

Hāshima is the technical term for a wound that fractures bone; ḥukūma denotes assessed compensation rather than an amount supplied here.

Muḥammad ibn Rajjāz related to us. He said: Naṣr ibn al-Ḥusayn related to us. He said: I heard ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Maghrāʾ al-Dawsī say: Abū Ḥanīfa used to tell his son Ḥammād to buy ten dirhams’ worth of bread every day and give it in charity to poor neighbours and the poor who came to the door.
