Sulaymān b. Aḥmad al-Wāsiṭī reported that Yazīd b. Hārūn said, “I have not seen a Shāmi or an ʿIrāqī with who knew as many narrations as Ismāʿīl b. ʿAyyāsh.”

قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بنُ أَحْمَدَ الوَاسِطِيُّ: سَمِعْتُ يَزِيْدَ يَقُوْلُ: مَا رَأَيْتُ شَامِيّاً وَلاَ عِرَاقِيّاً أَحْفَظَ مِنْ إِسْمَاعِيْلَ.
