Yaʿqūb cites him in Islāḥ al-Manṭiq, and Ibn Qutaybah reproduces the citation in al-Adab; yet the two refer to entirely different men. The individual named by Yaʿqūb was a man bearing the nisbah to Jalūd—a village in Ifrīqiyyah—and many years separate him from this Ibn ʿAmrawayh. The latter is the later figure, and he used to relate ḥadith in the hall where the hides sold to the sultan were kept. According to the grammarians, the correct form of the nisbah should be al-Jildī, for when one derives a nisbah from a collective noun one returns it to the singular, just as one says ṣaḥafī and faraḍī.

I add: Those who passed away in the year eight include al-Qaṭīʿī; the preacher Aḥmad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Burūjirdī, who related in Baghdad from Ibrāhīm ibn Dīzīl; the master grammarian Abū Saʿīd al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Marzubān al-Sīrāfī, judge of Baghdad; Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusayn ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Abī Zamzām al-Dimashqī, the specialist in the laws of inheritance; the ḥāfiẓ Abū al-Qāsim al-Ābandūnī; the Qur’an reciter Abū al-Qāsim ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Sulaymān ibn al-Nakhkhās al-Baghdādī; the judge ʿĪsā ibn Ḥāmid al-Rukhkhajī; the long-lived Muḥammad ibn ʿUbaydūn al-Qurṭubī—the last to transmit from Ibn Waḍḍāḥ; the ḥāfiẓ Abū al-Ḥusayn al-Ḥajjājī; the jurist Abū Ḥātim Muḥammad ibn Yaʿqūb ibn Isḥāq ibn Maḥmūd al-Harawī; and the valiant emir famed for his bravery, Haftakīn the Turkish sharābī, who seized Damascus.

212 – Ibn Bābawayh, Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Qummī
The leading figure of the Imāmiyyah, Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad, son of the scholar ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn Mūsā ibn Bābawayh al-Qummī, author of the works widely circulated among the Rāfiḍa. His prodigious memory became proverbial.
