and al-Ḥusayn ibn Jumayʿ; Ibn Firas al-Makki; Aḥmad ibn Tharthal; and Abū Muḥammad ibn al-Naḥḥās—this, in addition to what he heard in the Two Holy Sanctuaries, in Egypt, and in Syria.

He also gathered and compiled a personal Muʿjam, arranging it in a single volume.

Those who narrated from him include Abū Saʿd al-Sammān, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Kattānī, Saʿd ibn ʿAlī al-Zankhānī, Saʿd Allah ibn Ṣāʿid al-Rahabī, and others.

He was a person of great standing.

ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Kattānī said: “Our shaykh and teacher, the righteous shaykh Abū al-Ḥasan al-Hinnāʾī, passed away in Rabīʿ al-Awwal of the year 428 AH.”

He was born in 370 AH.

He wrote extensively and was among the devoted worshippers. His funeral was enormous—I have never seen anything like it! His bier was borne from after the Friday Prayer until shortly before ʿAṣr, and his shroud even came undone.

Abū ʿAlī al-Ahwāzī said: “He was buried at Bāb Kaysān.”

I (the author) say: He was the brother of Abū al-Qāsim al-Ḥusayn al-Hinnāʾī and the paternal uncle of Shaykh Abū Ṭāhir Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn, the teacher of al-Sīlafi.
