His best known work is Sunan al-Darimi, a book collection of hadith, considered one of the Nine Books (Al-Kutub Al-Tis’ah).
Biography
Al-Darimi came from the family tribe of Banu Darim ibn Malik ibn Hanzala ibn Zayd ibn Manah ibn Tamim, or the Arab Banu Tamim tribe. He is also known as al-Tamimi, in relation to Tamim ibn Murrah, who was one of the ancestors of Banu Darim.
Al-Darimi stated, "I was born in the same year Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak died, and Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak died in 181 AH."
Al-Darimi narrated hadith from Yazid ibn Harun [ar], Abd Allah ibn Awn, and others. A number of scholars also narrated hadiths from him, including Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and Abu Zur'a al-Razi.
