Among those who narrated from him were: Abū Bakr al-Khaṭīb, Abū al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Gharīq, Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥandaqūqī, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Ṭāhir the ascetic, Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq al-Bāqarḥī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn al-Maʾmūn, Abū al-Ghanāʾim Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUthmān, Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn Sulaymān al-ʿAṭṭār, Naṣr ibn al-Baṭir, and his brother ʿAlī ibn al-Baṭir.
He transmitted the Jāmiʿ from Abū ʿAlī Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Qarrāb, who received it from Abū ʿĪsā al-Tirmidhī. The judge Abū Manṣūr Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Azdī and his contemporaries heard it from him. I heard Abū ʿĀmir al-Azdī say:
“I heard my grandfather, the judge Abū Manṣūr, declare: ‘Listen well! We heard this book many years ago, and now you stand on equal footing with us in it.’”
Abū Saʿd al-Samʿānī (1) said: “He died in 412 AH, God willing; he was righteous and reliable.”
