He also narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Faḍl ibn Unayf al-Bukhārī and a number of others. Fabricated reports were in circulation under his name. Those who transmitted from him include Abū Bakr Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Tirmidhī and others. I copied the notice of his death from the handwriting of the judge Shihāb al-Dīn Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq—may Allah uphold him—who recorded it as having occurred in Jumādā al-Ākhira 375 AH.

231 – Ibn Maḥmūyah, ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid al-Samarqandī *
The imām, ḥāfiẓ and accomplished scholar, Abū Bakr ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn ʿAlī ibn Maḥmūyah al-Samarqandī.
His father was a Baghdadi, while his grandfather came from Mosul.
He heard hadith from Abū Jaʿfar Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Jammāl, Muhammad ibn Isḥāq al-ʿUṣfurī, ʿAlī ibn Muḥtāj, Ibn Khinb, and—while in Baghdad—from Abū Bakr al-Shāfiʿī and scholars of his generation.
He possessed an exact memory; he collated topical chapters, catalogued shaykhs, included the lesser-known narrators, gathered a large corpus, and did so with proficiency. Had he lived longer, he would surely have risen to even greater renown, but he lived only fifty-one years.
He died in 376 AH.

232 – Ibn al-Zayyāt, ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī al-Baghdādī **
The shaykh, ḥāfiẓ, and reliable authority, Abū Ḥafṣ ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā al-Baghdādī, known as Ibn al-Zayyāt.
