The senior Shāfiʿī scholar, Abū al-Rabīʿ Ṭāhir ibn ʿAbd Allāh (1) al-Turkī. Ilāq is the chief town of ash-Shāsh. He was counted among the foremost Shāfiʿīs of that region. He studied jurisprudence in Marw under Shaykh Abū Bakr al-Qaffāl, and in Bukhārā under the master Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥalīmī. He narrated hadith from Abū Nuʿaym al-Isfarāyinī and many others. He is credited with an authoritative view in the madhhab (2). He lived ninety-six years and died in 465 AH. No high-level transmission of his hadith has reached me.
