312 – Al-Bādharaʾī, Abū al-Makārim al-Mubārak ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Muʿammar*
A righteous and trustworthy shaykh, Abū al-Makārim al-Mubārak ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Muʿammar al-Bādharaʾī, originally from Baghdad.
He received narrations from Abū al-Khaṭṭāb ibn al-Baṭr, Abū Bakr al-Ṭuraythīthī, ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Abū al-Khaṭṭāb al-Jarrāḥ, and a number of others.
Among those who transmitted from him were Tamīm al-Bandanījī, the ḥadith master ʿAbd al-Ghanī, the ḥadith master ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Ruhāwī, Shaykh al-Muwaffaq, ʿAlī ibn Thābit al-Ṭālabānī, ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn Yūḥann al-Bāwarri, and others.
Shaykh al-Muwaffaq said, “He was a righteous but weak shaykh; most of the time he lay on his back, and because of his infirmity he would ask us about the prayer while seated.”
I say: He died on the twentieth of Jumādā al-Ākhirah in the year 567 AH (1). He was an ascetic, frequently visited, and long-lived.
