al-Karīm ibn Khushaysh al-Baghdādī.

He studied under Abū ʿAlī ibn Shādhān and Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Makhlad al-Bazzār; his audition is sound, and he is numbered among the transmitters of the booklet of Ibn ʿArafah. Those who narrated from him include Abū Ṭāhir al-Silafī, the scribe Shuhdah, Abū al-Saʿādāt al-Qazzāz, and others. He passed away on the tenth of Dhu al-Qaʿdah in 502 AH at the age of eighty-nine—may Allah Most High show him mercy (1).

In that same year there also died: Abū al-Fawāris Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Khāzin, famed for his exquisite calligraphy; Abū Aḥmad Ḥamd ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad Yaḥannā al-Iṣbahānī, the interpreter of dreams; the eminent scholar Abū al-Maḥāsin al-Ruyānī (2), who was killed by the Ismāʿīlīs; Abū al-Qāsim al-Rubʿī (3); Hibat Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Mawṣilī, who died in his nineties; and the distinguished lexicographer Abū Zakariyyā Yaḥyā ibn ʿAlī al-Tibrīzī (4).
