al-Ḥasan al-Makkī, the Shāfiʿī oil-merchant.

Ibn Bashkuwāl, in the entry he devoted to Ḥātim al-Aṭrābulusī, stated: “Aḥmad was one of the reliable musnid scholars.” (1)

He also wrote, in his compilation of Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr’s teachers: “He died in 404 AH in Mecca, having lived a little over one hundred years.” He then added, “This was likewise reported by Ḥātim ibn Muḥammad.”

al-Ḥabbāl said: “He was born in 312 AH and died in 405 AH.”

al-ʿAtīqī reported: “He passed away in Jumādā al-Ūlā of the year 405.”

al-Katānī claimed: “He died in 403” — but he was mistaken.

Aḥmad (2) ibn Salāmah told us, through al-Artāḥī (3), from al-Farrāʾ, who said: al-Ḥabbāl informed us, and al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad in Mecca narrated to us the dates of his father’s birth and death, mentioning them exactly as stated above.
