Overview
In Khurasan Abu Dawud heard Qutayba ibn Sa'id, Ishaq ibn Rahwayh and a circle of others 1; since Ibn Rahwayh died in 238 and Qutayba in 240, the hearings fall in the 230s of the hijra.
Early writing
Abu 'Abdallah al-Hakim said he took down hadith in Khurasan before leaving for Iraq — in his own land and at Herat — and that he had written early at Nishapur, later travelling with his son to Khurasan 2.
