Ismāʿīl al-Taymī, Abū Saʿd ibn al-Baghdādī, and Abū Naṣr al-Ghāzī. He was a truthful, eminent, and distinguished authority, and among the traditions he held were those he had heard from Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Jurjānī and ʿUthmān ibn Aḥmad al-Burjī.

59 – al-Warkī, ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Qāsim*
The shaykh, the imām, the jurist, the righteous centenarian, the “musnid of the world,” Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Qāsim ibn Ismāʿīl al-Qurashī, al-Zubayrī, al-Bukhārī, known as al-Warkī.

Abū Saʿd al-Samʿānī said: “Al-Warkī lived for one hundred and thirty-three years, and between the time he wrote down dictations from Abū Dharr ʿAmmār ibn Muḥammad—the companion of Yaḥyā ibn Ṣāʿid—and his own death there elapsed one hundred and ten years.”

People travelled to him from every region.

He transmitted ḥadith from Abū Dharr just mentioned, Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Yazdād al-Rāzī, Ismāʿīl ibn Ḥusayn al-Bukhārī, Isḥāq ibn Ḥamdān al-Muhallabī, and Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Jūrī.

A number of scholars narrated from him—al-Samʿānī lists them—and he says: “His grave lies in Warkā, two parasangs from Bukhārā; I have visited it.”

I add: Among those who narrated from him were ʿUthmān ibn ʿAlī al-Baykandī, Abū al-ʿAtāʾ Aḥmad ibn Abī Bakr al-Ḥammāmī, Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr ibn ʿUthmān al-Bazdawī, and his brother ʿUmar
