Among those who narrated from him were Abū Marwān al-Ṭubnī, the ḥāfiẓ Abū ʿAlī al-Ghassānī, and a number of others.

Al-Ghassānī said: “He was a righteous man—reliable, a musnid, unyielding in upholding the Sunnah, stern toward the people of innovation; chaste, scrupulous, patient in straitened circumstances, averse to the world and disdainful of its devotees. He supported himself from the proceeds of a small, lawful property that he had placed in a muḍāraba (profit-sharing partnership) with traveling merchants. He lived for ninety-odd years.”

He passed away in early Rabīʿ al-Ākhir of the year 447 AH (1).

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Khalaf said: “On the day Ḥakam was buried I saw birds fluttering over his bier—something never witnessed before—just as had been seen over the bier of Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Fakhkhār (2).”
