When he passed away, al-Ṣāḥib Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbbād (1) composed an elegy for him, saying:

“They said, ‘The Shaykh Abū Aḥmad is gone …’
and they bewailed him with every manner of lament.
I said, ‘What is the loss of a single shaykh who has departed? …
Nay, it is the loss of the many branches of letters.’

Abū Ḥakīm Aḥmad ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Faḍlān al-ʿAskarī, the linguist, recorded that Abū Aḥmad died on Friday, the seventh of Dhū al-Ḥijjah in the year 382 AH.

I say: I believe he had surpassed ninety years of age.

302 – al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Saʿīd, Abū ʿAlī al-Kindī *

His namesake and contemporary—the jurist, senior transmitter (musnid) and ḥadīth scholar—Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Saʿīd al-Kindī, from Ḥimṣ, who later resided in Baʿlabakk.

He narrated from: Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Ḥalabī and Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Jawṣā.

Those who transmitted from him include: al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ashʿath al-Manbijī, ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Rabaʿī, and others.

A small collection of his transmissions has reached me.

I have not discovered the date of his death, but he was narrating in 388 AH.

303 – al-Karābīsī, Abū Saʿīd Muḥammad ibn Bishr ibn al-ʿAbbās **

The righteous shaykh and senior transmitter, Abū Saʿīd Muḥammad ibn Bishr ibn al-ʿAbbās
