Yāsīn ibn al-Naḍr al-Bāhilī, the Naysābūrī jurist.

Al-Ḥākim mentioned him and said, “He was devoted to abundant remembrance of God and to prayer.”

He studied under Ibn Khuzaymah, al-Sarrāj, Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Daghlī, and others. He conducted public dictation sessions and narrated prolifically, yet he lost his original notebooks.

I say: Those who transmitted from him include al-Ḥākim, Abū Saʿd al-Kanjarūdhī, and a number of others.

He died in Ramadan of the year 378 AH, at the age of eighty-two.

238 – Ibn Kaysān, ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Ḥarbī *

The shaykh and reliable transmitter, Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Kaysān al-Ḥarbī, who narrated from Yūsuf al-Qāḍī the “Zakat booklet” and the “Tasbīḥ booklet,” and nothing besides those two.

Al-Barqānī, al-Ḥusayn ibn Jaʿfar al-Salmāsī, ʿAlī ibn al-Muḥsin, Abū Muḥammad al-Jawharī, and others reported from him.

Al-Khaṭīb said: al-Tanūkhī told us, “Ibn Kaysān showed us, in his father’s own handwriting: ‘ʿAlī and Muḥammad—my two sons—were born in a single birth on the night of Friday, five days having passed of Jumādā al-Ākhirah in the year 282 AH.’” (1)

I say: Their father then died (2) before the year 300 AH, and he was counted among the foremost grammarians.
