Where the scholars are from من أين الرواة والمؤلّفون
Narrators and book-authors grouped by historical region — the classical amṣār — with a modern-country hint. Each attribution is read straight off the source البلدان/nisba, never guessed. 31383 of 49845 narrators carry a placeable origin (210 authors); 18462 have a tribal-only nisba or none, and stay unplaced by design.

Regions follow the classical geography of the amṣār; a narrator's region is taken from the explicit البلدان field where present, otherwise from a geographic nisba. Tribal and ambiguous nisbas are deliberately left unplaced — a tribe is not a place.
