Leaving Medina (or forced to leave), he traveled eastwards towards ' al-Irāq', stopping in Kufa, also al-Jazīra, and into Iran as far as Ray, before returning west. Also ibn Ishaq disputed with the young Malik ibn Anas, famous for the Maliki School of Fiqh. But those who defended him, like Sufyan ibn ʽUyaynah, stated that Ibn Ishaq told them that he did meet her. After his return to Medina, based on one account, he was ordered out of Medina for attributing a hadith to a woman he had not met, Fāṭima bint al-Mundhir, the wife of Hishām ibn ʿUrwa. Around the age of 30, ibn Isḥaq arrived in Alexandria and studied under Yazīd ibn Abī Ḥabīb. He was influenced by the work of ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, who praised the young ibn Ishaq for his knowledge of 'maghāzī' (stories of military expeditions). No facts of Ibn Isḥāq's early life are known, but it is likely that he followed in the family tradition of transmission of early akhbār and hadith.

Isḥāq married the daughter of another mawlā and from this marriage Ibn Isḥāq was born. His three sons, Mūsā, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, and Isḥāq, were transmitters of 'akhbār', ie they collected and recounted written and oral testaments of the past. On his conversion to Islam, he was manumitted as ' mawlā' (client), thus acquiring the surname, or ' nisbat', al-Muṭṭalibī. After being found in one of Khalid ibn al-Walid's campaigns, Yasār was taken to Medina and enslaved to Qays ibn Makhrama ibn al-Muṭṭalib ibn ʿAbd Manāf ibn Quṣayy. 704), ibn Isḥaq's grandfather was Yasār, one of forty Christian or Jewish boys who had been held captive in a monastery at Ayn al-Tamr.
