These books tie them to him, but the entries we hold do not name them.
- from أحمد بن إسحاق Jāmiʿ al-Ruwāt
- to أحمد بن محمد بن سلميان الزراري Jāmiʿ al-Ruwāt

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.
- from Sahl ibn Ziyād side by side in 3 chains
- from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn 'Imran side by side in 2 chains
- to Ziyad bin Marwan side by side in 2 chains

Assembled from 3 entries. Every word above is quoted from the book named beside it, and none of it is our judgement of him.
