Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Among those who narrated from him was ʿUmar ibn ʿAli al-Qurashi. Others who transmitted on his authority were Isfandiyār ibn al-Muwaffaq, and—by written authorization—Ibn Maslamah.

Ibn al-Najjar (1) said: “He was devout, of commendable conduct, chaste, and scrupulous. The caliph al-Mustaḍīʾ appointed him to the judgeship in 566 AH after he had repeatedly refused the post, and he remained in office until he died in Muḥarram 570 AH.”

His son:

8 – Abū al-Maʿālī ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Rawḥ*

The imam, the judge, the ascetic, the devoted worshipper—Abū al-Maʿālī ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Rawḥ. His father deputized him (2) to serve as judge in the restricted precincts of the Caliphal residence.

He heard ḥadīth from ʿAli ibn al-Ṣabbāgh, Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Salāl, and al-Urmawī. ʿAli ibn Aḥmad al-Zaydī selected a fascicle for him. Among those who narrated from him was ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Muḥammad al-Bardanī.

Ibn al-Najjar (3) said: “Muḥammad ibn Saʿīd the ḥāfiẓ (4) informed us; ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Muḥammad informed us; ʿAbd al-Malik ibn al-Ḥadīthī informed us; and Ibn al-Salāl informed us …” after which he cited a hadith.

(1) The relevant section of Ibn al-Najjar’s History has not reached us. Ibn al-Dubaythi gives his biography (folio 137, Paris MS 5922), as do Ibn al-Najjar himself (folio 6, Zahiriyya) and al-Dhahabi in both al-Mukhtasar al-muhtaj ilayh and Tarikh al-Islam (folio 36, Ahmed III 2917/14). (2) Ibn al-Dubaythi notes that he testified before the author’s father, at the very start of the latter’s tenure as chief judge, on Saturday, 12 Rabi al-Akhar 566 AH. (3) Tarikh al-mujaddad, folio 6, Zahiriyya. (4) In other words, Ibn al-Dubaythi.
سَمِعَ مِنْهُ: عُمَرُ بنُ عَلِيٍّ القُرَشِيُّ. وَرَوَى عَنْهُ: إِسْفَنْديَار ابْنُ المُوَفَّقِ، وَبِالإِجَازَة ابْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ. قَالَ ابْنُ النَّجَّارِ (١) : كَانَ مُتَدَيِّناً، حسنَ الطَّرِيقَةِ، عَفِيْفاً، نَزهاً، وَلاَّهُ المُسْتَضِيْءُ القَضَاءَ فِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَسِتِّيْنَ بَعْدَ امتِنَاعٍ مِنْهُ شَدِيد، وَلَمْ يَزَلْ عَلَى القَضَاءِ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ فِي المُحَرَّمِ، سَنَةَ سَبْعِيْنَ وَخَمْسِ مائَةٍ. ابْنُهُ: ٨ - أَبُو المَعَالِي عَبْدُ المَلِكِ بنُ رَوْحٍ * الإِمَامُ، القَاضِي، الزَّاهِدُ، العَابِدُ، القَانِتُ، أَبُو المَعَالِي عَبْدُ المَلِكِ بنُ رَوْحٍ، استَنَابَه (٢) أَبُوْهُ فِي القَضَاءِ بِحَرِيْمِ دَارِ الخِلاَفَةِ. وَسَمِعَ مِنْ: عَلِيِّ بنِ الصَّبَّاغِ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بنِ مُحَمَّدِ ابْن السَّلاَّلِ، وَالأُرْمَوِيِّ. انتَقَى لَهُ عَلِيُّ بنُ أَحْمَدَ الزَّيْدِيُّ جُزْءاً. وَرَوَى عَنْهُ: عَبْدُ المَلِكِ بنُ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ البَرَدَانِيُّ. قَالَ ابْنُ النَّجَّارِ (٣) : أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بنُ سَعِيْدٍ الحَافِظُ (٤) ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ المَلِكِ بنُ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ المَلِكِ ابْنُ الحَدِيْثِيِّ، أَخْبَرْنَا ابْنُ السَّلاَّلِ ... ، فَذَكَرَ حَدِيْثاً.
