Abstract: Ibn Abī Khaythama is one of the scholars who contributed to the development of both hadith and Islamic historiography. His most important work al-Tārīkh al- Kabīr has only partially survived today. Ibn Abī Khaythama manifested his expertise on hadith transmitters by providing detailed information about their identification, years of death, relatives and intellectual surroundings, and was therefore quoted frequently by later authors. Having received education from prominent hadith critics, including his father Abū Khaythama, Yaḥyā b. Ma‘īn, and Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, Ibn Abī Khaythama played a significant role in the transmission of their critical opinions. Though he regularly participated in hadith circles and raised questions to his teachers about transmitters and their hadiths, he rarely expressed his individual opinion regarding the impugnment and certification of the transmitters. Keywords: Hadith Criticism, Isnād, Yaḥyā b. Ma‘īn, al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr, Brothers and Sisters among Transmitters
