and many others, the last of whom was ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAlī al-Zuhri, who narrated from him the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī in 613 AH.

A large company recited the Qur’an to him according to the seven canonical readings; among them were Abū al-ʿAbbās Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Miqdām al-Ruʿayni, Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥasanūn al-Kutāmī—both of whom died in 604 AH—and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ghāsl.
The last person on earth to receive his authorisation was Abū al-Qāsim Aḥmad ibn Yazīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Baqī al-Baqawī, who lived on until 625 AH.

Shurayḥ died on the twenty-third of Jumādā al-Ūlā in 539 AH, and his funeral drew a great crowd.
In that same year the head of the Shāfiʿīs, Abū Manṣūr Saʿīd ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Razzāz al-Baghdādī, professor at the Niẓāmiyya, also passed away.

56 – al-Badīʿ al-Hamadhānī, Abū ʿAlī Aḥmad ibn Saʿd (mentioned earlier)

He was an imam, a meticulous ḥadith scholar, a jurist, and the principal teacher of Hamadhān: Abū ʿAlī Aḥmad ibn Saʿd ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥasan ibn al-Qāsim ibn ʿInān al-ʿIjlī al-Hamadhānī, better known as al-Badīʿ.

He was born in 458 AH.
His father first arranged for him to hear ḥadith, after which he pursued the discipline on his own, travelling widely and gathering traditions.
He heard from Abū al-Faraj ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd the Book of al-Mutahabbīn (Those Who Love One Another).
