Everything in this book that is narrated from Abdullah ibn Miskan has been transmitted by me from my father and from Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan - may Allah (swt) be pleased with them both - from Muhammad ibn Yahya Al-Attar, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Khattab, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Abdullah ibn Miskan. He was a Kufan and a freed servant (mawla) of the tribe of Anzah, and it is also said that he was a freed servant of the tribe of Ujl.
