ʿUthmān ibn Rāshid

The teacher Abū ʿAbd Allāh said: I heard Ḥāmid ibn Ādam say: I mentioned this to Yaʿlā ibn ʿUbayd al-Ṭanāfisī, who laughed and said: “This is well known among us.” Such was Sufyān’s initial condition; later he acknowledged Abū Ḥanīfa’s merit. Abū Saʿd al-Ṣaghānī, whose name was Muḥammad ibn Muntashir, said: I used to visit Abū Ḥanīfa. He asked: “Where have you come from?” I said: “I was with Sufyān.” Abū Ḥanīfa said: “You have come from a man whose like al-Aswad and ʿAlqama would have needed, had they been alive.” I then visited Sufyān, who asked where I had come from. I said: “From Abū Ḥanīfa.” He said: “You have come from a man with whom you find abundant knowledge and jurisprudence.” Sufyān then transmitted from Abū Ḥanīfa, from ʿUthmān ibn Rāshid, from ʿĀʾisha bint ʿAjrad, from Ibn ʿAbbās, concerning someone in major ritual impurity who omits rinsing the mouth and nose and prays: He repeats the prayer.
