Ibrāhīm b. Faḍālah b. Kathīr al-Umawī al-Qurashī, a freedman of the caliph ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz.
He was a well-known Damascene, and we have listened to a fascicle of his.
He received ḥadith from Abū Qusī Ismāʿīl al-ʿUdhri, Aḥmad b. Anas, al-Ḥusayn b. Muḥammad b. Jumuʿah, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Qāsim al-Hāshimī, al-Ḥasan b. al-Faraj al-Ghazzī, Abū al-Qāsim al-Baghawī—who related to him in Mecca—Muḥammad b. Yazīd b. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad, and others.
Among those who narrated from him were Tammām al-Rāzī, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Naṣr, Abū Naṣr b. al-Jundī, Makkī b. al-Ghamr, Muḥammad b. Rizq Allāh, and Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Salām b. Saʿdān.
ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Kattānī dated his death to Rabīʿ al-Ākhir 362 AH and said, “People criticized him.”
