The Imaam, the Haafidh, the Shaykh of Islaam.

He is: al-Haafidh Abu Bakr Abdullaah bin Zubayr bin Eesaa al-Qurashee al-Humaidee al-Makkee.

A group from the greatest of Imaams of Islaam and the Sunnah narrated from him, from the head of them Muhammad bin Ismaa'eel al-Bukhaaree (d. 256H). Likewise, Imaam Muslim in the Muqaddimah to his Saheeh, and likewise Abu Dawood, at-Tirmidhee, likewise az-Zuhree, Abu Zur'ah ar-Raazee, and Abu Haatim ar-Raazee have all narrated from him.

He has been praised by the scholars greatly, Imaam Ahmad said, "al-Humaidee, in our view, is an Imaam". Ishaaq bin Raahawaih said, "The Scholars in our time are ash-Shaafi'ee, al-Humaidee and Abu Ubayd". And Imaam al-Bukhaaree said, "Al-Humaidee is an Imaam in Hadeeth". And adh-Dhahabee said, "He was from most senior of the Imaams of the religion, and he is a haafidh, vast in memorization, of abundant transmission." (See: Sharh Usool is-Sunnah lil-Haafidh al-Humaydee, of Shaykh Abdullaah al-Bukhaaree).
He died in the year 220H.

He is: Abu Ibraaheem, Ismaa'eel bin Yahyaa, bin Ismaa'eel bin Amr bin Muslim al-Muzanee al-Misree

He is the most prominent student of Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee. His other Shaykhs are Nu'aym bin Hammaad, Alee bin Ma'bad bin Shaddaad al-Basree, and Asbagh bin Naafi'. The small number of his Shaykhs is explained by the fact that he kept very close attachment to his Shaykh, ash-Shaafi'ee, and he did not travel a great deal to the various lands of Islaam, but sufficed himself with the Shaykhs of Egypt (Misr).
Abu Ishaaq ash-Sheeraazee said (as-Siyar of adh-Dhahabi 12/493):

I saw al-Muzanee and I have not seen anyone of greater worship of Allaah than him, and nor more precise in fiqh than him.
Adh-Dhahabi said (as-Siyar 12/492):

The Imaam, the Allaamah, the jurist of the Ummah, the signpost of the ascetics.
And al-Bayhaqi mentions the saying of ash-Shaafi'ee (Manaaqib ash-Shaafi'ee 2/356):

If this one - pointing at al-Muzanee - debated with the Shaytaan, he would have cut him off (in argument)
His students include:

  • Abu Bakr bin Khuzaimah (d. 311H),
  • Abu Ja'far at-Tahawi (d. 321),
  • Zakariyyaa bin Yahyaa as-Saajee (d. 307H),
  • Abul-Hasan bin Jawsaa (d. 320H),
  • Abu Muhammad bin Abdur-Rahmaan bin Abee Haatim ar-Raazee (d. 327)
He was born in 175H, the year in which al-Layth bin Sa'd died, and he died in 264H.
