He also received hadith from Abū Masʿūd Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Bajalī, Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd al-ʿAyyār, Judge Ḥusayn, and a number of others.

Abū Saʿd al-Samʿānī spoke highly of him, depicting him as an ascetic, a scrupulous man of authority, one who would never allow anyone to engage in backbiting in his presence. Al-Samʿānī further recorded that he passed away in Banjadīh (1) during Shaʿbān of the year 526 AH.

374 – al-Mīhanī, Abū al-Fatḥ Asʿad ibn Abī Naṣr ibn al-Faḍl
The leading Shāfiʿī scholar, Majd al-Dīn, Abū al-Fatḥ Asʿad ibn Abī Naṣr ibn al-Faḍl al-Qurashī, al-ʿUmari, al-Mīhanī, compiler of the celebrated Taʿliqa (2).

He studied jurisprudence in Marw, then travelled to Ghazna where his learning became renowned; senior figures graduated under his tutelage, and Abū Isḥāq al-Ghazzī composed eulogies in his honor. Afterward he came to Baghdad and taught at the Niẓāmiyya in 507 AH, was removed after six years, then reinstated in 517 AH, actively spreading knowledge.

He had trained in law under the distinguished Abū al-Muẓaffar al-Samʿānī and al-Muwaffaq al-Harawī; his intellect was incandescent. He studied legal theory (uṣūl) with Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Farāwī and heard hadith from Ismāʿīl ibn al-Ḥasan al-Farāʾiḍī, though he himself left no transmissions.
