Ibn al-Muhtadī bi’Llāh, and al-Ṣarīfīnī.
Those who narrated from him included al-Salafī, al-Samʿānī, Ibn ʿAsākir (1), ʿAbd al-Mujīb ibn Zuhayr, Maḥāsin ibn Abī Bakr, Ḍiyāʾ ibn Jandal, al-Tāj al-Kindī, and many others.
Al-Samʿānī said, “He was devout, virtuous, and righteous, from a household devoted to hadith. His course remained sound and upright. He died in the Ḥarbiyya quarter in Rajab 533 AH.”
Ibn al-Najjār added, “The last person to report from him was Abū ʿAlī ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Bakr ibn Ṭulayb.”
39 – Qāḍī al-Zakī Abū al-Mufaḍḍal Yaḥyā ibn ʿAlī al-Qurashī*
The shaykh, imam, eminent jurist and judge: Abū al-Mufaḍḍal (2) Yaḥyā ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Qurashī, a Damascene Shāfiʿī, known in his day as Ibn al-Ṣāʾigh.
His grandson, the Syrian ḥadith-master Abū al-Qāsim, told me: “He was born in 443 AH.”
He received hadith from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Aḥmad al-Kattānī, al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Burrī, Ḥaydara ibn ʿAlī, ʿAbd al-Razzāq ibn al-Fuḍayl, and Abū al-Qāsim ibn Abī al-ʿAlāʾ.
He then traveled to Baghdad, where he heard further transmissions, and studied jurisprudence under Abū Bakr al-Shāshī, and in Damascus.
