Abu ‘Ali ibn Sukkara said, “He enjoyed the highest standing of all the people of Baghdad in the Caliph’s estimation.”

Al-Salafi remarked, “He was a Hanafi, one of the eminent dignitaries and notables, trustworthy and firmly reliable; I did not have the opportunity to meet him.”

I add: He passed away on the last day of Shawwal, in 491 AH. He was buried in his own house for a year, after which his body was moved.

His brother, the Musnad of Baghdad, Abu Nasr al-Zaynabi (1), has already been mentioned, and their two brothers—Nur al-Huda al-Husayn and Abu Talib Hamzah (2)—will appear under the early 500s AH. Their fifth brother—the eldest of them—is Abu Tamam Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Zaynabi; their client (mawla) Abu ‘Ali Muhammad ibn Wishah al-Zaynabi ranks among the leading narrators; and their sixth brother is Abu Mansur Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, who narrates from ‘Isa ibn al-Wazir (3).

Al-Khatib transmitted from him and stated that he died in 451 AH (4).
