I say: In that same year there also passed away:
• the shaykh of the Ḥanbalis, Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Maʿālī ibn Ghanīmah al-Baghdādī, known as Ibn al-Ḥalāwī, at the age of eighty;
• the musnid of al-Andalus, Abū al-Qāsim Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Muṭarrif ibn Jarg al-Qurṭubī, aged ninety—he had heard the entire Sunan of al-Nasāʾī with an elevated chain from Abū Jaʿfar al-Biṭrūjī;
• the ḥadith master Abū Bakr Ibn al-Qurṭubī al-Anṣārī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥasan, a pupil of Ibn al-Jadd;
• the ḥadith master ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn al-Akhdar;
• Abū al-Muẓaffar Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ball, the preacher; and
• Shaykh ʿAlī ibn Abī Bakr al-Sāʾiḥ al-Harawī.

Among the verses composed by Ibn al-Mufaḍḍal (1):
O soul, hold fast to the legacy transmitted from the best of Messengers,
from his Companions and the Followers—hold fast!
Perhaps, if you strive to spread his religion
and propagate it in the finest manner, you will be held fast.
Fear tomorrow—the Day of Reckoning—and Hell,
when its flames surge forth; then, too, hold fast!
