one dinar for the Ṭālūt fascicle. A traveller once came who wished to hear it, so Ibn al-Naqqur read it to him; yet he did not state the chain openly, but merely said, “Abū ʿUthmān al-Ṣayrafī narrated to us.” Ibn al-Naqqur never realised what had happened, and the stranger thus obtained the fascicle.
Ibn al-Naqqur died on the sixteenth of Rajab 470 AH, at the age of ninety (1).
His son
181 – Ibn al-Naqqur, Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Bazzāz
The shaykh Abū Manṣūr Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Naqqur (2), known as al-Bazzāz (3).
He heard ḥadith from Abū Isḥāq al-Barmakī, Abū al-Qāsim al-Tanūkhī, and others.
Among those who transmitted from him were his son Abū Bakr ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad, Abū Ṭāhir al-Silafī, and others.
Al-Silafī said, “He was nothing extraordinary, but he did hear a great many ḥadith, and his son Abū Bakr used to attend the sessions with us.”
I say: Muḥammad died in 497 AH (4), in his early sixties.
