Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Khuzaymah al-Nishapuri (Arabic:محمد بن إسحق بن خزيمة النيسابوري) (Persian: محمد بن اسحاق بن خزیمه نیشاپوری) (838-924 AH) was a prominent Persian Muslim muhaddith scholar and Shafi'i jurist. He is best known for his hadith collection, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah.
Biography He was born in Nishapur a year earlier than Ibn Jarir al-Tabari and outlived him by one year. In Nishapur, he studied under its scholars, including Ishaq Ibn Rahwayh (died 238 AH/853 CE), the muhaddith of Khorasan at the time, as well as with al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Works Al-Hakim recorded that Ibn Khuzaymah wrote more than 140 books. Little of what he wrote survives today:
