Marwān, al-Ḥusayn b. Aḥmad b. Abī Thābit, and Abū ʿAlī b. Ādam.
Those who transmitted from him were Abū al-Walīd al-Darbandidī, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Kattānī, Abū al-Qāsim b. Abī al-ʿAlāʾ, and others.
Al-Darbandidī said: “In the whole of Syria there was no one whose kunya was Abū Bakr except him, and he was reliable.”
I say: Likewise in Egypt, ever since the Banū ʿUbayd came to power, no one bearing the kunya Abū Bakr could be found, while the world seethed with their rejectionism and ignorance.
Abū Bakr died in 426 AH.
In that same year there also died the distinguished scholar, master of rhetoric, Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-Malik b. Shuhayd (1) of al-Andalus, and Ibrāhīm b. Jaʿfar b. Abī al-Kirām in Egypt.
305 – Abū Nuʿaym al-Mihrānī, Aḥmad b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Aḥmad b. Isḥāq b. Mūsā b. Mihrān *
