Ibn Tāhir said, “Apart from that one matter, everything he heard is sound. (1)”
I add: He narrated in Ḥarrān during his sojourn there in the year 495 AH.
In that same year there died: the mufti of Iṣfahān, Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad al-Ṭabarī—later of Baghdad—a Shāfiʿī jurist (2); the ruler of Egypt al-Mustaʿlī Aḥmad ibn al-Mustanṣir; Abū Tāhir Khālid ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid the merchant; the senior of his age, ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Warkī (3); Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Faqīrah of Baghdad; and Abū Yāsir Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Khayyāṭ—both of whom had studied under Abū al-Qāsim ibn Bishrān; as well as the leading Shāfiʿī scholar Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Abī ʿĀṣim al-ʿAbbādī al-Marwazī, author of the book ar-Raqm on the school, who reached eighty years of age.
106 – Ibn al-Busrī, Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Bundār *
The righteous and reliable shaykh, Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ḥusayn—son of Shaykh Abū al-Qāsim ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Busrī al-Bundār, a Baghdadi—was the last of the great shaykhs and the final person to transmit from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yaḥyā al-Sukkari.
He also studied under Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Makhlad, Abū ʿAlī ibn Shādhān, Abū Bakr al-Barqānī, and others.
Those who narrated from him include Abū ʿAlī ibn Sukkara, Saʿd al-Khayr al-Anṣārī, and Abū Tāhir—
