Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

and from the imām al-Qūmisānī, as well as Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Bajali al-Jarīrī, Bakr ibn Ḥayd, Sufyān ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn Fanjawayh, ʿAbdūs ibn ʿAbd Allah, and a number of others.

Those who narrated from him include the ḥadith master Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-ʿAṭṭār and his sons—Aḥmad, ʿAbd al-Ghanī, and Wāthilah—together with al-Muʾayyad ibn al-Ikhwah, al-Samʿānī, Ibn ʿAsākir (1), and several more.

It is also reported that he issued an ijāzah to ʿAbd al-Khāliq al-Nishtabrī (2).

He was counted among the finest of shaykhs. The ḥadith master Abū al-ʿAlāʾ used to say, “He is dearer to me than any shaykh in Hamadhān” (3).

Al-Samʿānī praised him in his al-Tahbīr (4), stating that he was born in 452 AH, though he told Abū al-ʿAlāʾ that the year was 453 AH (5).

Among the works he heard was the Sunan of Abū Dāwūd through al-Bajali: Abū Bakr ibn Lāl related it to us from Ibn Dāsah, from Abū Dāwūd, and he (Ibn Ukht al-Ṭawīl) publicly recited it. It was heard from him by Aḥmad and ʿĀtikah, the two children of the ḥadith master Abū al-ʿAlāʾ. He also auditioned Makarim al-Akhlaq by Ibn Lāl, which he received from al-Bajali on his authority (6).

He passed away in Shaʿbān 542 AH at the age of ninety.

(2) In the base manuscript the nisba is vocalised with a kasra on the first nūn; Yaqut records it with a fatḥa, then a sukūn, followed by a tā’ marbūta and a bā’, giving Nashtabri – a large village with date-palm groves whose orchards merge with those of Shahra­ban on the Khurasan road near Baghdad. See Yaqut, Muʿjam al-buldan, vol. 5, p. 286, and Ibn Nuqtah, al-Mushtabih, p. 380. This ʿAbd al-Khaliq died in 649 AH; his biography will appear in volume 22 of this work.
