280 – Ibn ʿAwn Allāh, Aḥmad ibn ʿAwn Allāh ibn Hudayr al-Qurṭubī
The shaykh, ḥadith scholar, imam, and itinerant transmitter: Abū Jaʿfar Aḥmad ibn ʿAwn Allāh ibn Hudayr ibn Yaḥyā al-Qurṭubī, the cloth-merchant.
He performed the pilgrimage and heard ḥadith from Abū Saʿīd ibn al-Aʿrābī, Khaythama ibn Sulaymān, Aḥmad ibn Salama ibn al-Ḍaḥḥāk, Abū Yaʿqūb al-Adhraʿī, and many others of their rank.
Narrators from him include Abū al-Walīd ibn al-Farḍī, Abū ʿUmar al-Ṭalamankī, and a group besides them.
He was truthful, upright, stern toward the innovators, passionately devoted to the Sunnah, and patient in the face of harm.
Ibn al-Farḍī said, “People wrote from him in earlier times and later on, and I myself wrote from him.”
He told me, “I was born in the year 300 AH.” (1)
I add: He was long-suffering with the students, reading to them for most of the day, and he had many encounters with the partisans of desire.
He died in Rabīʿ al-Ākhir of the year 378 AH.
