263 – al-Saʿīdī, Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Barakāt ibn Hilāl*
A shaykh, erudite authority, outstanding scholar, and long-lived master of Arabic language and philology: Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Barakāt ibn Hilāl ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid al-Saʿīdī, the Egyptian man of letters.

In advanced age he did study under al-Qāḍī Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Quḍāʿī, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn al-Ḥasan al-Ḍarrāb, and Karīmah al-Marwaziyyah; he even took up residence near her and received from her the full Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī.

Among those who transmitted from him were: al-Silafī, the sharīf Abū al-Futūḥ al-Khaṭīb, Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAlī the grammarian, Munjib al-Murshidī, Abū al-Qāsim Hibat Allāh al-Būsīrī, and others.
