Abu Salma Hammad ibn Salamah ibn Dinar al-Basri (Arabic: حماد بن سلمة بن دينار البصري; died 167 AH/783 CE[1]), the son of Salamah ibn Dinar, was a prominent narrator of hadith and one of the earliest grammarians of the Arabic language. He was noted to have had a great influence on his student, Sibawayh.[1]

He was a client (mawla) of either Banu Tamim or Quraysh.[1] He was from the generation of the Tabi‘ al-Tabi‘in, one of the early generations of Islam.[2]
