ibn Jahūr al-Abharī, the Iṣfahānī. This Abhar is other than the well-known Abhar of Zanjān (1); rather, it is a village that belongs to the province of Iṣfahān (2).

He narrated ḥadith from Abū ʿAmr ibn Ḥakīm, Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yūnus al-Ghazzāl, Abū ʿAlī Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī al-Abharī, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā al-Khashshāb.

Among those who reported from him were ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Manda, Maḥmūd ibn Jaʿfar al-Kawsaj, al-Qāsim ibn al-Faḍl al-Thaqafī, and a number of others.

He passed away in Rabīʿ al-Ākhir of the year 405 AH, at a venerable age.

The imam, ḥadith scholar, and reliable authority: Abū al-Qāsim ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Jaʿfar al-Baghdādī, known as al-Saqaṭī, who had taken up residence near the Kaʿbah.

He studied under Ismāʿīl al-Ṣaffār, Abū Jaʿfar ibn al-Bakhtarī, Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥarb, ʿUthmān ibn al-Sammāk, Abū Bakr al-Najjād, and many others in Baghdad; in Mecca he met Abū Saʿīd ibn al-Aʿrābī.

He was a prolific transmitter, and Ibn Abī al-Fawāris compiled a selected collection from his narrations.

Those who learned from him include Ḥamzah al-Sahmī, Muẓaffar—the grandson of Ibn Lāl—and Abū Dharr.
