Summary
Imam al-Bazzar was al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Ahmad bin ‘Amr al-Basri, who died in 292 AH. He authored two musnads: the Musnad Soghir, which is lost, and the Musnad Kabir, which has reached us incomplete. The Musnad Kabir is arranged by the names of the Companions and contains many hadiths not found in the Six Books. Scholars differed on him: some said he erred in chains and texts, Abu Sa’id called him a hafiz of hadith, and Ibn Hajar graded him as Soduq Masyhur.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
