Origin of the Name

His nickname "Ibn Rāhūyah" is said to have originated from his father who was born on a road towards Mecca:

Aḥmad ibn Salama said: I heard Isḥāq ibn Rāhūyah say: The Emir Abd Allah bin Ṭāhir said to me: Why were you called Ibn Rāhūyah? And what does it mean? And do you dislike being called by that? He (Isḥāq) said: Know that O' Emir that my father was born on a road towards Mecca, so the people of Marw called him: Rāhūyah, for he was born upon the road (to Mecca), and my father disliked that. As for me, I do not dislike it.[11]

The nickname is pronounced Rāhūyah in classical Persian is Arabized as Rāhawayh.

Al-Bukhari stated, "We were with our teacher Ishaq ibn Rahuyah when he said, 'If only someone would compile a compact book for the authentic hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.' That stirred something in my heart, so I set out in compiling al-Jami' al-Sahih".[12]
