Background and career

Khalīfa bin Khayyāṭ bin Khalifa bin Khayyāṭ al-ʿUṣfūrī al-Shaybānī al-Dhuhlī al-Tamīmī al-Laythī Abū ʿAmr Shabāb (Arabic: خليفة بن خياط بن خليفة بن خياط العصفوري الشيباني الذهلي التميمي الليثي أبو عمرو شباب; 777–855) commonly known by his nickname Shabab or simply Khalifa Ibn Khayyat was a Basran Arab Islamic scholar, traditionist, historian, chronicler and genealogist.

A member of a scholarly Basran family of hadith transmitters, he became known primarily for his contributions to history and biographical literature. His Taʾrīkh is the earliest extant Islamic chronicle, covering events from the Prophet’s life to 232/847, while his Ṭabaqāt is one of the earliest surviving Islamic biographical dictionaries, cataloguing more than three thousand transmitters of hadith.
