Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Those who narrated from him were: ʿUmar ibn Ibrāhīm al-Zaydī, Muḥammad ibn Tarkhān, Abū al-Qāsim Ibn al-Samarkandī, and others.
He lived eighty-two years.
He died in Shaʿbān of the year 476 AH.
His theology was unsound—may Allah pardon him.

235 – Ibn ʿAllān, Abū al-Faraj Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Karajī*
The shaykh, musnid (hadith authority), and reliable transmitter, Abū al-Faraj Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿAllān al-Karajī, later known as al-Kūfī.

He narrated from: Abū al-Ḥasan Ibn al-Najjār and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Juʿfī al-Harawānī.

Narrators from him include: Abū al-Ghanāʾim al-Narsī and a number of others, the last of whom to die was Abū al-Ḥasan Ibn Ghabara.

Al-Narsī said, “He is trustworthy, one of al-Ḥākim’s upright transmitters.” He passed away in Shaʿbān of the year 476 AH.

I say: The lofty chains of transmission in Kūfa ultimately terminated with him and with Ibn al-Manthūr al-Juhanī (1); both of them died in the same month.

Also deceased in that year was the eminent merchant Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Jarda al-ʿUkbarī,

(*) We have found no biographical source for him. The nisba “al-Karaji”—pronounced with an open kaf and ra and ending in a jim—refers to Karaj, a town in the Jabal region located between Isfahan and Hamadhan, founded during the reign of the Abbasid caliph al-Mahdi Abu Abd Allah Muhammad b. Abu Jaʿfar al-Mansur. (1) He is the same individual whose biography was cited earlier.
