Among al-Nuʿaymī’s well-known poetry:
If the grasping palms of the mean leave you parched,
 Contentment will spare you, filling you with food and drink.
So be a man whose foot is planted in the dust
 While the crown of his aspiration rises to the Pleiades.
High-souled, disdainful of a wealthy man’s gift—
 You see him growing proud of what his own hands hold.
For to spill the water of life itself is far easier
 Than to spill the water of one’s face. (1)

300 – al-Urmawī, ʿAbd al-Ghaffār b. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Muḥammad
The ḥāfiẓ, the imām, the itinerant scholar, Abū al-Najīb ʿAbd al-Ghaffār b. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Muḥammad al-Urmawī.

He heard ḥadith from: Ibn Naẓīf in Egypt; Aḥmad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Maḥāmilī in Baghdad; and Abū Nuʿaym in Isfahan.

Those who transmitted from him include: al-Khaṭīb, al-Kattānī, and Najā b. Aḥmad.

Al-Khaṭīb said (2): “He resided near Mecca, narrating extensively from Abū Dharr. He then returned to the Levant and died between Damascus and al-Raḥbah, in Shawwāl of the year 433 AH.”

Al-Ḥabbāl asserted that he died in 456 AH, but he was mistaken.

He died young, before his narrations had much time to circulate.
