Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Darimi (Arabic: عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن الدارمي, romanized: Abd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Dārimī; 797–869 CE) was a Muslim scholar and Imam of Arab[6] or Persian ancestry.[7] His best known work is Sunan al-Darimi, a book collection of hadith,[8] considered one of the Nine Books (Al-Kutub Al-Tis’ah).[9]

Biography

Al-Darimi came from the family tribe of Banu Darim ibn Malik ibn Hanzala ibn Zayd ibn Manah ibn Tamim, or the Arab Banu Tamim tribe.[10] He is also known as al-Tamimi, in relation to Tamim ibn Murr, who was one of the ancestors of Banu Darim.[11]

Al-Darimi stated, "I was born in the same year Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak died, and Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak died in 181 AH."[12]

Al-Darimi narrated hadith from Yazid ibn Harun, Abd Allah ibn Awn, and others. A number of scholars also narrated hadiths from him, including Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and Abu Zur'a al-Razi.
