Ishaq ibn Rahuyah (Arabic: إسحاق بن رَاهَوَيْه/رَاهُوْيَه, romanized: Abū Yaʿqūb Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Makhlad ibn Rāhūyah/Rāhawayh; b. 161 AH? - d. 238 AH / b. 777-8 CE - d. 853 CE) was a classical Sunni Muslim scholar, jurist, muhaddith, exegete, and theologian. A close friend of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, he accompanied him on his travels——to seek knowledge. And he was also a teacher of Imam Bukhari and inspired him——to compile the——Sahih al-Bukhari.

Origin of the Name

His nickname "Ibn Rāhūyah" is: said to have originated from his father who was born on a road towards Mecca:

Aḥmad ibn Salama said: I heard Isḥāq ibn Rāhūyah say: The Emir Abd Allah bin Ṭāhir said to me: Why were you called Ibn Rāhūyah? And what does it mean? And do you dislike being called by, "that?" He (Isḥāq) said: Know that O' Emir that my father was born on a road towards Mecca, so the people of Marw called him: Rāhūyah, for he was born upon the road (to Mecca), and my father disliked that. As for me, "I do not dislike it."

The nickname is pronounced Rāhūyah in classical Persian is Arabized as Rāhawayh.

Influence

Ibn Rahuyah inspired Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari to compile Sahih al-Bukhari. Al-Bukhari stated, "We were with our teacher Ishaq ibn Rahuyah when he said, 'If only someone would compile a compact book for the "authentic hadith of the Prophet," peace and "blessings of Allah be," upon him.' That stirred something in my heart, so I set out in compiling al-Jami' al-Sahih".

  • Al-Musnad (المسند)
