In that same year there also died: the leading scholar of Córdoba, Abū Jaʿfar Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Rizq, who mastered jurisprudence under Ibn al-Qaṭṭān (1); Abū al-Qāsim Ismāʿīl ibn Masʿada al-Ismāʿīlī (2); Bībā al-Harthamiyya (3); the devout Abū Saʿd ʿAbd Allah, son of Shaykh Abū al-Qāsim al-Qushayrī (4); the Shāfiʿī authority Abū Naṣr ʿAbd al-Sayyid ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ṣabbāgh (5); Abū Manṣūr Kulār al-Būshanjī (6); the vizier Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn ʿAmmār al-Mahrī, who served al-Muʿtamid (7); and Masʿūd ibn Nāṣir al-Sijzī, known as al-Rakkāb (8).
295 – Abū ʿĪsā ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ziyād al-Iṣfahānī
A man of letters noted for his asceticism, he transmitted the Luwayn recension from Abū Jaʿfar ibn al-Marzubān al-Abharī.
Those who narrated from him include the ḥāfiẓ Ismāʿīl ibn Muḥammad al-Taymī, Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Qāsim al-Ṣāliḥānī, Masʿūd al-Thaqafī, Abū ʿAbd Allah al-Rustamī, and others.
He remained alive until roughly 476 AH.
He was among the last of the devout scholar-worshippers—may Allah have mercy upon him.
