Among those who narrated from him were his son Yaḥyā ibn Thābit—who received from him the transmission of the Muwaṭṭaʾ as narrated by al-Qaʿnabī—Ismāʿīl ibn al-Samarqandī, Ibn Nāṣir, ʿAbd al-Khāliq al-Yūsufī, Abū Ṭāhir al-Salafī, Aḥmad ibn al-Mubārak al-Marqaʿātī, ʿUmar ibn Bunaymān, his brother Aḥmad, Shuhda the Scribe, and many others.

Narration by ijāza (written authorization) was also granted on his authority to the jurist Naṣr ibn Ibrāhīm al-Maqdisī.

Al-Samʿānī said, “I read in my father’s own handwriting: ‘Thābit, Thābit.’”

ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Anmāṭī said, “He is trustworthy, reliable, devout, intelligent, and virtuous.”

Another scholar said, “Thābit was known as Ibn al-Ḥammāmī.”

He passed away in Jumādā al-Ākhirah, 498 AH.

Ibn al-Najjār remarked, “He was one of the leading Qurʾān reciters and dependable hadith transmitters. He heard a great deal himself, wrote it in his own hand, and related most of what he had heard.”

It is said that his grandfather Ibrāhīm worked as a bath-house keeper in Dīnawar.

I (the author) note: his first audition was in 423 AH.
