Abu Rishdin Hanash b. Abd Allah, known as Hanash al-San'ani, was a prominent Tabi'i and hadith scholar during the 1st/7th century. Abu Sa'id b. Yunus identified him as one of the companions of Imam Ali (a), noting that following the martyrdom of the Imam (a), Hanash relocated to Egypt. He subsequently participated in the Muslim conquests of the Maghreb and Andalusia.[1]
Hanash transmitted hadith from figures such as Imam Ali (a), Fadala b. Ubayd, Ruwayfi' b. Thabit al-Ansari, and Abu Hurayra, among others.[2] Conversely, his son al-Harith, along with al-Harith b. Yazid and Salaman b. 'Amir, narrated from him.[3] Scholars Ahmad b. Abd Allah al-'Ijli[4] and Abu Zur'a[5] deemed him trustworthy. Additionally, Ibn Abi Hatim[6] characterized him as a righteous figure in the field of hadith.[7]
Historical sources differ regarding his father's name, with some identifying him as Ali.[8] Extant information concerning his life is scarce, particularly as his biography has often been conflated with those of contemporaries bearing the same name.[9] His descriptive epithet links him to the village of San'a near Damascus.[10] However, Ibn Sa'd[11] identified Hanash as being of Iranian descent. He died in 100/718-19 in Ifriqiya.[12]
Hanash served in the army of Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr and was subsequently taken prisoner by Umayyad forces. The Umayyad caliph, Abd al-Malik b. Marwan, ordered his release; this act of clemency was reportedly due to their shared history during the conquest of Ifriqiya.[13]
Hanash was the first official to collect the ushur (taxes) in Ifriqiya.[14] Ibn Sa'd[15] records a grandson, Salama b. Sa'id b. Mansur b. Hanash. Hanash is also credited with establishing the congregational mosque in the city of Zaragoza.[16] While typically associated with Ifriqiya, al-Dhabbi[17] cited Abu Ali al-Ghassani regarding his burial in Zaragoza.
