Naẓīf; Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAmr al-Ḥaddād; Ṣilah ibn al-Muʾammal; a number of scholars in Egypt; Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Ṣanʿānī, the companion of al-Naqawī (1); Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī there; and Abū Muḥammad al-Jawharī in Baghdad.
Those who narrated from him include: Abū Bakr al-Khaṭīb, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Razzāq ibn al-Faḍl, Ismāʿīl ibn al-Samarqandī, Abū al-Fatḥ Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Anbārī, ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Anmāṭī, Mawhūb ibn al-Jawālīqī, Abū Bakr ibn al-Zāghūnī, and Ibn Nāṣir.
Al-Samʿānī said: I heard Khalīfah ibn Maḥfūẓ in al-Anbār say, “Ibn Abī al-Ṣaqr was constant in fasting and in the night prayer.” (2) It is said that what he heard would fill a camel’s load.
I add: He also composed graceful poetry. He died at al-Anbār in Jumādā al-Ākhirah of the year 476 AH, when he was in his eighties—may Allah have mercy on him.
