he narrated from Ahmad ibn Bundar al-Shaʿʿār and Abū al-Qāsim al-Ṭabarānī. A number of Abū Ṭāhir al-Silafī’s teachers transmitted from him, among them Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-ʿAlawī al-Rassī and Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥaddād. He died on the night of ʿArafah in 436 AH.

392 – Ibn Mīql, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad al-Mursī*
The leading scholar of Córdoba, its exemplar in devotion, and the foremost shaykh of the Mālikīs, Abū al-Walīd Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Mīql al-Mursī.

He studied under: Abū Muḥammad al-Aṣīlī, Hāshim ibn Yaḥyā, and Sahl ibn Ibrāhīm. He later moved to Córdoba, pursued legal studies, and attained distinction.

Abū ʿUmar ibn al-Ḥaddāʾ said: “I never met anyone more perfectly God-fearing, of finer character, or more complete in knowledge than he. Each day and night he would finish reciting the entire Qurʾān on his feet. From the outset of the turmoil he gave up meat—save for poultry, fish, or game. Despite limited means he was generous, the most meticulous guardian of the school’s positions and the strongest in argument, while also well-versed in hadith and its transmitters, in Arabic, the variant Qurʾānic readings, and poetry.”

He died in Shawwāl of 436 AH in Murcia and was buried along the qiblah wall of its congregational mosque. He was seventy-four years old. (1)
