Show English translation

Among those who learned jurisprudence from both Abū Yūsuf and Muḥammad were Abū Sulaymān Mūsā ibn Sulaymān al-Jūzjānī and Muʿallā ibn Manṣūr al-Rāzī. They transmitted the books and dictated lessons from them both. In scrupulousness, religion, and retention of jurisprudence and hadith, they held an elevated rank.
