Those who narrated from him include al-Silafī, the Khatīb of Mosul, Muḥammad ibn Dirmā al-Ṣilḥī (1), and a number of others.
He passed away in 518 AH.
Abū ʿAlī said: “The Murattib copied a small fascicle for his own use, attributing it to al-Khaṭīb and dating it 465 AH, whereupon his ruse was exposed and he was disgraced.”
277 – al-Daqqāq, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Muḥammad *
The peerless ḥāfiẓ, the reliable transmitter, the indefatigable traveller, Abū ʿAbd Allah Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Muḥammad al-Iṣfahānī, known as al-Daqqāq.
He used to say, “Among the students I came to be called ‘al-Daqqāq’ because of my friend Abū ʿAlī al-Daqqāq. I was born in the quarter of Jurawāʾān (2) in the early 430s AH. In 447 AH I heard traditions from the preacher ʿAbd Allah ibn Shabīb al-Ḍabbī, Aḥmad ibn al-Faḍl al-Bāṭirqānī, Saʿīd al-ʿAyyār, Abū al-Faḍl ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Aḥmad al-Rāzī, the pupils of Ibn al-Muqriʾ, and our shaykh Abū al-Qāsim Ibn Mandah. My first journey was in 466 AH, during which I received ḥadith in Nishapur, Ṭūs, Sarakhs, Marw, Herat, Balkh, Jurjān, Bukhārā, Samarqand, and Kirmān,
