Those who narrated from him included: Abū Bakr al-Khaṭīb, Abū al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Gharīq, Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥanduqūqī (1), 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, along with many others. He dictated traditions for a considerable period.
Al-Khaṭīb said (2): “He was reliable, truthful, widely-traveled in listening to ḥadith and diligent in writing them down, sound in creed, and constant in his recitation of the Quran. He continued to dictate in the congregational mosque of the city from sometime after 380 AH until shortly before his death. He was the first shaykh from whom I wrote, and that was in 403 AH, after he had lost his eyesight.”
Abū al-Qāsim al-Azharī said: “One of the viziers sent Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Razquwayh a sum of money, but he returned it out of scrupulous piety.” (3)
It is also reported that Ibn Razquwayh pursued his study of jurisprudence according to the school of al-Shāfiʿī (4).
Al-Khaṭīb further stated: “I heard him say, ‘By Allah, I love life only for remembrance of Allah and for transmitting ḥadith.’ I also heard al-Barqānī attest to Ibn Razquwayh’s reliability (5). He passed away in 412 AH.”
