Muḥammad ibn Ḥalbas (1) al-Makhzūmī, known as al-Ghaḍāʾirī, the Baghdadi.
He heard from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Ṣūlī, Ismāʿīl ibn Muḥammad al-Ṣaffār, Abū Jaʿfar al-Bakhtarī, Abū ʿAmr ibn al-Sammāk, and Abū Bakr al-Najjād.

Those who narrated from him include Abū Bakr al-Bayhaqī, Abū Bakr al-Khaṭīb, Abū al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Muhtadī bi-Allah, ʿAbbās ibn Bakrān al-Hāshimī, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Qāsim ibn al-Faḍl al-Thafaqī, and others.

Al-Khaṭīb (2) said: “He was reliable and possessed of virtue. He died in Muḥarram of the year 414 AH.”

I add: He likely lived beyond ninety years, and he left a well-known fascicle (juzʾ) that we have heard.

200 – al-Ghaḍāʾirī, al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿUbayd Allah ibn Ibrāhīm *
The shaykh of the Shiʿa and their scholar, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿUbayd Allah ibn Ibrāhīm al-Baghdādī, known as al-Ghaḍāʾirī.

He is described as ascetic, devout, and of wide learning. It is said that no one among the Shiʿa had memorized more of the ḥadith of the Prophet’s Household, whether trifling or weighty, than he.

Among those who transmitted from him were Abū Jaʿfar al-Ṭūsī and Ibn al-Najāshī (3), both Rāfiḍī scholars.
