Those who narrated from him include the judge ʿUmar ibn ʿAlī al-Qurashī, his son ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, al-Muwaffaq ʿAbd al-Laṭīf, Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Abī al-Ṣayf, al-Fakhr al-Irbilī, and the judge Abū Naṣr ibn al-Shīrāzī.
He is likewise mentioned by Abū al-Mawāhib ibn Ṣaṣrā.
He died in Aleppo in 568 AH, having reached the age of eighty.
Al-Samʿānī (1) erred when he recorded the date of his death as 548—or 549—AH (2).
Among those who also died in that same year were: Abū al-Faḍl Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Shunayf al-Dāraqazzī (3), the leading Qur’an-reciter and last of the pupils of Ibn Siwār; Khwārazm-Shāh Arslān (4) ibn Utsiz; the emir Najm al-Dīn, father of the sultans (5); Abū Manṣūr Jaʿfar ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Dāmaghānī (6); the “king of the grammarians,” Abū Nizār al-Ḥasan ibn Ṣāfī al-Baghdādī (7) in Damascus; and the senior Mālikī scholar, Abū Ṭālib Ṣāliḥ ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Sanad.
