In that same year there also died: the muḥaddith of Damascus, Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān ibn Yūsuf al-Rabaʿī, known as al-Bundār; the preacher of preachers, Abū Yaḥyā ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Nubātah al-Fāriqī, compiler of the collection of sermons entitled al-Dīwān; the judge Abū Saʿīd ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥaskā al-Ḥanafī of Nīshāpūr; and Abū Yaʿqūb Isḥāq ibn Saʿīd, son of the ḥadith master al-Ḥasan ibn Sufyān al-Nasawī.
