- Al-Tikakkī, Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz*—a righteous, trustworthy, long-lived shaykh. He was Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Baghdādī, known as al-Tikakkī, one of the last surviving pupils of Abū ʿAlī ibn Shādhān.
Those who transmitted from him include Abū al-Muʿammar al-Anṣārī, Abū Bakr al-Samʿānī, Abū Ṭāhir al-Silafī, Salmān ibn Masʿūd al-Shaḥḥām, Abū Bakr ibn al-Naqqūr, and others.
Ibn al-Najjār said: “He was a righteous shaykh whose audition was sound; he was born in the year 414 AH.”
I say: He died in Ramadan of the year 501 AH.
Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Muʿaddal (1) informed us; he was informed by the Imām, Muwaffaq al-Dīn Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Qudāmah in 617 AH; who was informed by ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Narsī; who was informed by Abū ʿAlī al-Tikakkī al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad; who was informed by Abū ʿAlī ibn Shādhān; who was informed by ʿUthmān ibn al-Sammāk; who reported from Mūsā ibn Sahl; who reported from Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUlayyah; who reported from Ḥumayd, from Anas—who said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Allah will certainly admit a servant into Paradise because of a single morsel of food or a single sip of drink for which he praises Him.” (2)
