Author and Background

The compiler, Abu al-Hasan Muhammad ibn Talhah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Uthman al-Na'ali, was a hadith transmitter based in Baghdad whose nisba derives from the making and selling of shoes (ni'āl) al-Ansab - al-Samani+1. Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi recorded hadith from him and noted that he was continuously engaged in writing hadith until his death, though he characterized him as having sought out anomalous and uncorroborated reports (gharāʾib wa manākīr) and described him as adhering to Rafidism Tarikh Baghdad.
