one of the five brothers, and the youngest of them.
He narrated ḥadith from: his father Abū Isḥāq al-Muzakkī; Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq al-Ṣibghī; Ḥāmid ibn Muḥammad al-Raffāʾ; Abū ʿAmr ibn Maṭar; Yaḥyā ibn Manṣūr the judge; Abū Bakr ibn al-Haytham al-Anbārī; Abū Baḥr al-Barbahārī; Abū Bakr ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yaḥyā al-Ṭalḥī; and several others.
Selections of his transmissions were taken by the ḥāfiẓ Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn Manjūyah (2) and by Abū Ḥāzim al-ʿAbdawī (3); his original manuscripts were sound.
ʿAbd al-Ghāfir al-Fārisī said: “My father used to regret missing the chance to study with him. He was, however, reported to us by my maternal uncles—Abū Saʿd, Abū Saʿīd, and Abū Manṣūr—together with Nāfiʿ ibn Muḥammad al-Abīwardī, So-and-so al-Shaqqānī, Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Muzakkī (his nephew), and ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-ʿUthmānī.”
I add: as well as Abū Saʿd ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Ṣādiq, ʿAbd al-Ghaffār ibn Muḥammad al-Shīruwī, and others.
He died in the year 427 AH, being in his eighties—may Allah have mercy on him.
