Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

ʿUbayd (1) Allah ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ʿUmrūs (2) al-Baghdādī, the Mālikī.

He was born in 372 AH.

He heard hadith from Abu Ḥafs ibn Shāhin, Abu al-Qāsim ibn Ḥabāba (3), Abu Ṭāhir al-Mukhlis, and others.

Abu Bakr al-Khaṭīb narrated from him and said (4), “The issuing of fatwas in Baghdad culminated with him.”

I say: he was also counted among the foremost Qur’an reciters.

Abu Isḥāq states in Tabaqāt al-Fuqahāʾ (5): “He was a jurist, an uṣūlī, and a pious man.”

Abu al-Ghanāʾim al-Narsī said: “He was a righteous man; knowledge of the Mālikī school in Baghdad ultimately rested with him.”

Ibn ʿAsākir records in Tabyīn Kadhib al-Muftarī (6) that he died at the beginning of 452 AH (7).

I say: In that same year the emir of Egypt—after Damascus—renowned for his bravery, also died,

(1) In al-Ibar the name is corrupted to “ʿAbd Allah,” while al-Kamil has “ʿUbayd” with no further patronymic. (2) Al-Muntazam misreads it as “ʿAmr ibn…,” and al-Kamil as “Abu ʿAmr ibn….” (3) Tartīb al-Madārik gives the place-name as “Jibāyah,” and al-Bidāyah as “Habānah,” both the result of copyists’ errors. (4) Ṭarīkh Baghdād, vol. 2, p. 339. (5) p. 169. (6) p. 265. (7) The author of al-Dibāj al-Mudhahhab erred in stating that he died in 372 AH; that year is in fact his birth date, as noted by the present writer and others. The modern editor also slipped, writing in a note that he was born in 137 AH, which is likewise incorrect. Al-Zabidī, in Tāj al-ʿArūs, records his death in 453 AH.
عُبَيْد (١) اللهِ بنِ أَحْمَدَ بنِ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ عُمْروس (٢) البَغْدَادِيُّ، المَالِكِيُّ. مَوْلِدُهُ: سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِيْنَ وَثَلاَثِ مائَة. سَمِعَ: أَبَا حَفْصٍ بنَ شَاهِيْن، وَأَبَا القَاسِمِ بن حَبَابَةَ (٣) ، وَأَبَا طَاهِرٍ المُخَلِّص، وَغَيْرهُم. رَوَى عَنْهُ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ الخَطِيْبُ، وَقَالَ (٤) :انْتَهَت إِلَيْهِ الفَتْوَى بِبَغْدَادَ. قُلْتُ: وَكَانَ مِنْ كِبَارِ المُقْرِئِين. قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ فِي (طَبَقَات الفُقَهَاء (٥)) :كَانَ فَقِيْهاً أُصُوْليّاً صَالِحاً. وَقَالَ أَبُو الغَنَائِمِ النَّرْسِيّ: كَانَ رَجُلاً صَالِحاً، مِمَّنِ انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ مَعْرِفَةُ مَذْهَب مَالِك بِبَغْدَادَ. وَذَكَرَ ابْن عَسَاكِرَ فِي (تَبيين كذب المفترِي (٦)) أَنَّهُ تُوُفِّيَ: فِي أَوّل سَنَة اثْنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِيْنَ وَأَرْبَعِ مائَة (٧) . قُلْتُ: وَفِيْهَا مَاتَ أَمِيْرُ مِصْر بَعْد دِمَشْق، المَوْصُوْف بِالشَّجَاعَة،
