I add: It is reported that he copied five hundred complete Qur’an manuscripts, and he also composed poetry. He died in 502 AH, and his full name was Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥusayn al-Daylamī, later al-Baghdādī. (1)

281 – Abū Nahshal ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Faḍl al-ʿAnbarī*

The eminent, long-lived shaykh Abū Nahshal ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn Abī al-Fawāris Aḥmad ibn al-Faḍl al-ʿAnbarī, al-Tamīmī, originally from Isfahān, was born in 427 AH. Abū al-Ḥusayn ibn Fādhshāh granted him an authorization (ijāzah), and in 432 AH he heard from him the Zūhd section of Asad ibn Mūsā’s collection; I have inspected the autograph attesting to this, and he was the last person to transmit from Ibn Fādhshāh.
He also narrated from Hārūn ibn Muḥammad, Abū Bakr ibn Shādhān al-Aʿraj, and Ibn Rīḍah; from the latter he heard both of al-Ṭabarānī’s Muʿjams, the Major and the Minor. From Hārūn—on the authority of al-Ṭabarānī—he received ʿAbd al-Razzāq’s Virtues of the Qur’an, and he likewise heard Abū Shaykh’s Filial Piety, along with other material in which he is the sole transmitter.
