Ibn ʿAsākir remarked, “There was nothing blameworthy about him.”
Abū al-Faḍl ibn Shāfiʿ, however, said, “He shows a certain leniency and some weakness.”
Ibn al-Khashshāb related: “Our teacher, al-Bāriʿ, transmitted to us the book Iṣlāḥ al-Manṭiq by Ibn al-Sikkīt, which I read aloud to him from his own manuscript. He had received it from Abū Jaʿfar ibn al-Muslima, who in turn had heard it read to my brother, the Imām Abū al-Karam ibn Fākhir the grammarian, in the year 458 AH. Abū al-Qāsim ibn Suwayd transmitted it to him, who had it from Ibn al-Anbārī, from my father, from Ibn Rustum, from the author himself.”

Al-Bāriʿ died on 17 Jumādā al-Ākhirah in the year 524 AH.
