^{page 340 note 9} This Tradition is thus a tusā’ī (having nine links in the chain of isnād), remarkable for an author writing in the 7/13th century; but al-Bukhārī's editor was able to extract from his al-Jāmi’ al-ṣsahīh a choice selection of Traditions connected in that work (written in the first half of the 3/9th century) by only three links with the Prophet (thulāthīyāt, see Brockelmann I 159, Suppl. I 264). Quite a considerable literature of Tradition developed along this curious line; and the Chester Beatty collection contains a unique copy of a work entitled al-Sābiq wa-'l-lāḥiq, a biographical dictionary of Traditīonīsts who died at widely different dates and yet transmitted the one from the other; the author of this remarkable and valuable work was the celebrated Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. ‘Alī al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī (d. 463/1071), writer of the Ta'rīkh Baghdād.
