110 – al-Mallāḥī, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Ibrāhīm *
The Imām, master ḥadīth scholar, accomplished and exacting, the peerless Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Mufarrij al-Ghāfiqī, the Andalusī, known as al-Mallāḥī.
Al-Mallāḥah is a village in the district of Granada.

Born: in the mid-540s AH.

He heard (ḥadīth) from his father, Abū al-Ḥasan Ibn Kawthar, Abū Khālid Ibn Rifāʿah, ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq Ibn Būnah, Abū al-Qāsim Ibn Samjūn, and their peers.

He was granted authorization by Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ibn Zarqūn, Abū Zayd al-Suhaylī, Abū al-Ṭāhir Ibn ʿAwf al-Iskandarānī, and al-Khushuʿī.

Al-Abbār (1) said: “He wrote from both the senior and the junior scholars, devoting his long life to collecting narrations. He had an encyclopedic memory of transmitters and a deep knowledge of their histories. He compiled a History of the Scholars of Ilbīrah, a book titled Kitāb al-Ansāb (2) (Genealogies), and a collection of Forty Ḥadīths in which he achieved the highest level of meticulousness. Witnesses attested to his mastery of the names of narrators, in which he surpassed those who came before him. He also produced critical addenda to the work of Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr.”
