He died in Mosul on 13 Shaʿban (1)—though some said on the twenty-first of the month—in 622 AH.
Ibn al-Najjar said: “He narrated in many lands and acquired a respectable share of worldly wealth. He was an alert shaykh, handsome of face; he sought knowledge, wrote, and collected material. He belonged to a household famous for learning and narration, and he heard hadith from his grandfather Abu al-Makarim. In 620 AH he taught in Baghdad his own compilation of a Forty-hadith collection.”
