Yaḥyā ibn Manda said: “He was one of the prominent figures—trustworthy, reliable, possessed of keen intellect, fully endowed with virtue, honouring the scholars, excellent in calligraphy, and acquainted with some grammar and lexicography. Ḥadith was read to him countless times, both in the city and in the surrounding districts.” He then recorded his birth and added: “He passed away in Ramadan of the year 440 AH, at the age of ninety-four.”
I say: Fāṭimah (2) lived on after him until the year 524 AH, and her companion Abū al-Fakhr Asʿad ibn Rūḥ lived until 606 AH.
