and al-Ḥusayn ibn Abī Naṣr al-Ḥarīmī ibn al-Qāriṣ, ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Abī al-Muṭahhar al-Ṣaydalānī, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī al-Ḥasan al-Jubbāʾī.

233 – Ḥamzah ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥamzah ibn Fāris al-Baghdādī *
The Imām, Shaykh of the Qur’an reciters, Abū Yaʿlā Ibn al-Qubayṭī (1), originally from Ḥarrān and later a Baghdadi, the brother of the hadith scholar Abū al-Faraj Muḥammad.

He was born in 524 AH (2).

He studied the variant readings under his father, Sibṭ al-Khayyāṭ (3), Abū al-Karam al-Shahrazūrī, ʿUmar ibn Ẓafar, and ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Yazdī.

He also heard hadith from Abū Manṣūr al-Qazzāz, Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Tawbah, Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Salāl, ʿAlī ibn al-Ṣabbāgh, Abū Saʿd al-Baghdādī, and many others.

He wrote extensively, strove diligently, and amassed the foundational works, but his books were destroyed by fire. He had a handsome script, was precise, and was held to be an authority.

Among those who narrated from him are Ibn al-Dubaythī, Ibn al-Najjār, Ibn Khalīl, and several others.
