my brother likewise heard in the year 505 AH. Among the pieces he dictated to us were the fascicle of Ibn ʿUyaynah and five fascicles from the Musnad of al-Shafiʿi (1).

He died in Dhu al-Hijjah of the year 510 AH, having reached ninety-six years of age.

154 – Al-Qazwini, Abu Ibrahim al-Jalil ibn ʿAbd al-Jabbar*
A leading imam, hadith scholar, indefatigable traveller, and trustworthy narrator. His full name is Abu Ibrahim al-Jalil ibn ʿAbd al-Jabbar ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Tamimi, of Qazwin.

He studied under Abu Yaʿla al-Khalili and several scholars in Qazwin; under Abu al-Hasan ibn al-Taffal in Egypt; under al-Husayn ibn Jabir, the judge of Tinnis; and under Abu al-ʿAlaʾ ibn Sulayman in Maʿarra. Through his chain we heard the Fulayh recension.

Those who transmitted from him include Abu ʿAli al-Bardani and Abu Tahir al-Silafi, the latter remarking, “He is reliable, from a household devoted to hadith. He travelled to the Hijaz, Iraq, Egypt, Khurasan, and Syria.”

He narrated from teachers whose reports have reached us solely through him. He himself, his father, his grandfather ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Ibrahim ibn Ahmad, his great-grandfather, and the father of his great-grandfather were all transmitters of hadith.

I say: Ibn al-Najjar mentioned him but gave no date for his death; he was still alive a little after 500 AH.
