'Abdullah bin Buraidah

Bahz ibn Hakim was a Tabi'i narrator who transmitted hadiths through a three-generation chain from his grandfather Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah, a companion of the Prophet ﷺ, may Allah be pleased with him — the chain running: Bahz from his father Hakim from his grandfather Mu'awiyah. His grandfather Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah is known for asking the Prophet ﷺ direct questions about the awrah (what must be covered of the body) and other personal religious matters, with the resulting narrations providing important legal precedents. Bahz's chain from his grandfather is a recognized but sometimes debated isnad; while some hadith critics accepted it, others were more cautious. Al-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and al-Nasai nonetheless include narrations through this chain. His narrations cover the rights of neighbors, modesty and dress, charitable giving, and various aspects of worship. Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, while cautious about Bahz, did transmit from him. The hadiths he preserved from his grandfather on the subject of covering the body and the awrah are among the most cited in classical Islamic jurisprudence on this topic.
