Abu Ishaaq ibn Ibrahim ibn Ya'qūb Machlad ibn Ibrahim al - Hanzali al - Marwazi (Arabic أبو يعقوب إسحاق بن إبراهيم بن مخلد بن إبراهيم الحنظلي المروزي, Abū Ya ʿ DMG qūb Ishaq b. Ibrāhīm b. Maḫlad b. Ibrāhīm al - Hanzali al - Marwazi ), known by the name Ibn Rāhwayh (Arabic ابن راهويه, DMG Ibn Rāhawaih; * 778 or 782 in Merv, † 853 in Naisabur ) was an Aryan tradition. He also served as a teacher of Muslim ibn al - Hajjaj ibn Hanbal and Ahmad.

Ibn Rāhwayh was born in 161 or 166 of the Islamic calendar ( 778 or 782-83 ) in Marw. He traveled to Iraq, the Hijaz, Yemen and Syria, has repeatedly visited Baghdad and finally settled in Naisabur, where he died in 853. Later sources increase the number of his teachers almost without limit, the most important are, however, ' Abd Allāh ibn al - Mubarak and Sufyan ibn' Uyayna. As traditionist he was naturally, hostile to the independent legal determination within the Islamic jurisprudence, the Ra'y. About his exceptional memory circulated many stories. However, it is reported that he fell five months before his death, mental disorder, and that his lack of competence was in worldly things contrary to his thorough knowledge of religious subjects. The Fihrist, the great work of Ibn al - Nadim directory, contains three titles from his hand.
