Named with him, but not in the entry we hold

These books tie them to him, but the entries we hold do not name them.

In the same isnād

Each stands next to his name in an isnād — one took straight from the other — and no book calls them teacher or pupil. Each row says where that comes from: a book's chain index, or the chains this database holds.
