Among those who narrated from him were Makki al-Rumayli (1) and a number of itinerant traditionists. He was killed as a martyr. He held the judgeship of Harran as deputy for Abu Yaʿla; he taught, preached, delivered sermons, and spread the Sunnah (2). Ibn Quraysh al-ʿUqayli slew him in the year 476 AH (3), when the people of Harran rose against Ibn Quraysh after he openly reviled the Companions (4). Al-Silafi, in the town of Maksin (5), transmitted from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hamid, who in turn narrated from him.

(1) In Shadharat the name is misread as “al-Dimili.” (2) The report is recorded in Dhayl Tabaqat al-Hanabila, vol. 1, pp. 42-43. (3) Tabsir al-Muntabih, vol. 1, p. 334, states that he was killed in 496 AH; this is incorrect. (4) See Al-Kamil, vol. 10, pp. 129-130, where the name appears as “Ibn Halaba”; also Dhayl Tabaqat al-Hanabila, vol. 1, p. 43, and the earlier entry on Ibn Quraysh, no. 246. (5) Yaqut notes that Maksin—pronounced with a short i after the k—is a town on the Khabur River near Rahbat Malik ibn Tawk in the lands of the tribe of Rabi‘a.
