The senior shaykh, Abū al-ʿIzz Aḥmad ibn ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥamdān ibn ʿUmar ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ʿĪsā, a descendant of the Prophet’s Companion ʿUtbah ibn Farqad al-Sulamī.

Those who narrated from him include: Ibn Nāṣir, al-Silafī, Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Hamadhānī, Abū al-Qāsim Ibn ʿAsākir, Maʿmar ibn al-Fākher, Abū Mūsā al-Madīnī, and Hibat Allāh.
