Others who also transmitted from him were: the judge of Saragossa, ʿAbd Allah ibn Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl; the judge of Almería, Muḥammad ibn Khalaf ibn al-Murābiṭ; and the preacher Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-ʿAbdarī.
I have seen a two-volume work of his on the Sunnah. For the most part it is excellent, yet in some of its chapter headings there are things that can never be approved—such as a chapter entitled “The Side (janb) of Allah,” in which he cites the verse: “Alas for me, how I neglected the side of Allah” (al-Zumar 39:56). This is the slip of a scholar. He also composed a treatise refuting the Bāṭiniyyah.
In that treatise he wrote: “Among them is a group that worships without knowledge, claiming that every night they behold Paradise and eat of its fruits, that the wide-eyed maidens descend upon them, that they take refuge by the Throne, that they see Allah directly with no intermediary, and that they even sit with Him.”
