Sufism, and he narrated numerous books authored by Ibn al-Jawzī. Muḥammad ibn Saʿīd al-Ṭarrāz al-Andalusī declared him weak. As for Abū Bakr Ibn Masdī, he transmitted from him and said, “I saw his thabat, and it bore the handwriting of Abū al-Waqt.” He also auditioned traditions from Ibn al-Baṭṭī and received the Sufi cloak (khirqa) from Shaykh ʿAbd al-Qādir. He travelled to Granada and brought into the region several of Ibn al-Jawzī’s works; Ibn al-Rumiyyah attacked him, and Abū Muḥammad himself cared little for the science of transmission. He died in Marrakesh in 623 AH, a little over eighty years old. I add: he claimed to be a Hāshimite.

The erudite scholar, mufti, and preacher, Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad al-Hamadhānī.
He was born in 545 AH. He heard ḥadīth from Aḥmad ibn Saʿd al-Bayyʿ and Abū al-Waqt ʿAbd al-Awwal. He later came to Baghdad (1) and excelled in the Shāfiʿī school under Abū al-Khayr al-Qazwīnī and Abū Ṭālib, the disciple of Ibn al-Khall (2).
