Abū Nuʿaym ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī ʿAlī al-Ḥaddād said, “I heard one of al-Faḍl ibn Abī Ḥarb’s neighbors remark, ‘For thirty years he never allowed anyone living beside him to sleep because of his constant recitation and weeping.’”
Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAlī al-Hamadhānī, the ḥāfiẓ, writes in his Mishyakha: “Among them is the venerable scholar Abū al-Qāsim al-Jurjānī, an upright merchant with extensive auditions and excellent musnads. He was the most open-handed of people in supporting the poor, and his father was proverbial for generosity; people used to say, ‘Abū Ḥarb is the Ḥātim of his time in liberality.’”
Abū al-Qāsim died on the thirteenth of Ramaḍān, 488 AH. He narrated ḥadith in Khurāsān, Iraq, and Mecca, and the leading ḥadith masters recorded from him.
