Yaḥyā ibn Manda said, “Ibn Fādshāh owned many estates, his hearings were reliable, yet his doctrinal school was unsound.”
I say: he was accused of Muʿtazilite and Shiʿi leanings.
He died in Ṣafar of 433 AH.
Among his poetry:
“The shafts of hoary age are sharp and sure,
Foretelling the calamity and the mortal blow;
And he whose temples have been touched by gray
Has already taken from this world his destined share.”
