By written authorization he transmitted to Abū ʿAbd Allah al-Artaḥī, and al-Bukhārī also heard directly from him.

Al-Sīlafi said: “He is among the reliable transmitters, and most of our shaykhs in Egypt possess auditions from him. His pedigree is that of men of truth. From his fascicles I selected one hundred parts. He told me that he was born in 433 AH, on the very first day of that year.”

He died in Rabīʿ al-Ākhir, 519 AH.

In the same year passed away the foremost linguist of his time, Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Jabbār ibn ʿAythūn al-Tūnusī (1); the Egyptian vizier al-Maʾmūn, Abū ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Baṭāʾiḥī (2); and Abū al-Barakāt Hibat Allah ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Bukhārī al-Muʿaddal (3).
