130 – Dhākir ibn Kāmil ibn Abī Ghālib Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn al-Baghdādī, known as Shaykh Abū al-Qāsim al-Baghdādī, the leather-seller—an exceptionally long-lived hadith transmitter.
His brother, the ḥāfiẓ al-Mubārak, heard from him the narrations of al-Ḥasan Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq al-Baqarḥī, Abū ʿAlī ibn al-Mahdī, al-Muʿammar ibn Muḥammad al-Bayyāʿ, Abū Saʿd ibn al-Ṭuyūrī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Samarkandī, Abū Ṭālib ibn Yūsuf, Abū al-ʿIzz al-Qalānsī, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Bāqī al-Dūrī, and a number of others.
Among those who granted him written authorization were Abū al-Qāsim ibn Bayān, ʿAbd al-Ghaffār al-Shayrūbī, Abū al-Ghanāʾim al-Narsī, Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥaddād, Abū Ṭāhir al-Ḥinnāʾī al-Dimashqī, and Abū al-Qāsim ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm al-Nasīb, along with several more.
He narrated copiously—often uniquely—and was a pious, upright man, sparing in speech, constantly remembering Allah, perpetually fasting, earning his livelihood with his own hands. He was illiterate and did not write.
Those who transmitted from him include Sālim ibn Ṣaṣrā, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Dubaythī, Ibn Khalīl, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Jalīl, ʿAlī ibn Maʿālī al-Ruṣāfī, and many others.
He was also heard by Maʿmar ibn al-Fākhir and Abū Saʿd al-Samʿānī, attracted by the distinctiveness of his name.
