He journeyed on and performed the ḥajj. While in Baghdad he received ḥadith from Abū al-Qāsim ibn Bayān, Abū Ṭālib al-Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad al-Zaynabī, and Abū al-Ghanāʾim al-Narsī; he read Sahih Muslim with Ismāʿīl, son of ʿAbd al-Ghāfir al-Fārisī, and studied al-Maqāmāt under al-Ḥarīrī.
He later returned home, then set out a second time and settled in al-Mariyya, where he transmitted copiously.
Those who narrated from him include the muhaddith Razīn al-ʿAbdarī—who died before him—Abū Muḥammad al-ʿUthmānī, Abū al-Walīd ibn al-Dabbāgh, the preacher of Mosul Abū al-Faḍl, Ibn Bashkuwāl, Abū al-Qāsim ibn Ḥubaysh, Abū Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd Allāh, and several others. His name became widely known.
Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Abbār said, “He was trustworthy, his auditions were sound, yet he did not command extensive knowledge. He was martyred when the enemy overran al-Mariyya in Jumādā al-Ūlā of the year 542 AH. A great many people were killed that day. It is reported that he lived eighty-five years.” ﵀
