Hammad al-Harrani
Hammad al-Harrani (Arabic: حماد الحراني) or Abu al-Thana' Hammad ibn Hibat Allah ibn Hammad ibn al-Fudayl al-Harrani al-Hanbali was a Muslim scholar, poet, merchant and traveler who left his home town Harran to live in Alexandria under the reign of Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi. Both towns were dominated by Hanbali school. However, he came back to Harran and died there in 598 AH/1202 AD.[1] He is the author of a lost history of Harran[2] and compiled poems.[3]
There were many scholars who listened and reported hadiths from Hammad al-Harrani during his stay in Alexandria and after he returned to Harran; among them were Ibn al-Hajib (570-646 AH) and Ahmad al-Harrani.[4]
