Everything in this book that is narrated from Rubay ibn Abdullah has been transmitted by me from my father - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from Sad ibn Abdullah and Al-Himyari together, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Al-Husayn ibn Said, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Rubay ibn Abdullah ibn Jarud Al-Hudhali, who was an Arab from Basra.
