169 – Ibn Dādā, Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Ḥusayn al-Jarbādhaqānī*
The erudite exemplar, Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Ḥusayn al-Jarbādhaqānī.
He heard hadith from Ghānim al-Julūdī, Ismāʿīl ibn Muḥammad al-Ḥāfiẓ, Fāṭimah bint al-Baghdādī, and, in Baghdad, from al-Urmawī and Ibn Nāṣir, whose company he kept.
He wrote prolifically and was reliable, precise, and careful—learned in jurisprudence and various other disciplines, all while remaining ascetic and content.
Ibn al-Akhḍar held him in high esteem and spoke at length in his praise.
The hadith scholar Abū al-Faḍl ibn Shāfiʿ said: “I have never met anyone his equal in asceticism, learning, and mastery of the sciences. He attained expertise in many fields, reaching their very summit; people would turn to him for most of their intricate questions. He was a Shāfiʿī; had he lived longer, students from distant lands would have travelled to him.”
He passed away in Dhu al-Ḥijjah, 549 AH, at the age of forty-two and a few days—may Allah have mercy on him.
