Here are the biographies of the men whose names appear in this copy:

First: The copyist, who is Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd ibn Yūsuf ibn ʿAlī al-Aslamī al-Alshī. We have found no biography of him. However, what has become clear to us from his copy is that he was a man of knowledge of hadith, precise, and rarely making errors. His teacher, to whom he read the book "al-Sunan," namely Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Tanūkhī, was the foremost of the grammarians of Seville, as described by Judge ʿIyāḍ. There is no doubt that he benefited from him in this matter. The title page describes this Sulaymān as a jurist (faqīh), so it appears that he was among those who combined jurisprudence and hadith. This became clear to us from the quotations he occasionally cited concerning the jurisprudence of hadith from the early scholars (salaf), beyond what is found in "al-Sunan."

Second: The biography of the owner of the copy: Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik al-Judhāmī, who is Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Qurṭubī, resident of Sabtah. The Ḥāfiẓ al-Dhahabī said: He was a hadith scholar and man of letters, skilled in medicine and knowledgeable in it. He resided in Marrakesh and died there, in the year six hundred and fifty (650 AH).(1)

Third: The biographies of the men of the audition (samāʿ) whose names appear on the folio preceding the title page:

A- Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Tanūkhī: He is the son of Muḥammad, known as Ibn al-Akhḍar al-Ishbīlī. Judge ʿIyāḍ said: He was the foremost of the grammarians there. People learned from him, both earlier and later generations, and heard from him the books of adab...
