a recognised musnid, Abū Muḥammad al-Hamadhānī, known as “the Perfumer.”
He took hadith from his father; from ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Mushkānī—the transmitter of al-Bukhārī’s al-Tārīkh al-Ṣaghīr; from Naṣr ibn al-Muẓaffar al-Barmakī; from Abū al-Waqt al-Sijzī; and from Abū al-Khayr Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Bāghbānī.
Among those who narrated from him were al-Barzalī, al-Ḍiyāʾ, al-Ṣadr al-Bakrī, and a number of others. We have also received, by his ijāza, transmissions from al-Sharaf Ibn ʿAsākir.
I read, in Ibn Nuqṭa’s own handwriting, that he had heard al-Mushkānī’s recital of al-Bukhārī’s Tārīkh.
Isḥāq ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Muʾayyad al-Miṣrī told me that ʿAbd al-Barr’s mental faculties declined after the year 610 AH, yet we were informed that his reason returned to him shortly before his death, that he did indeed narrate, and that he died at Rūdhrawar in Shaʿbān 624 AH.
