Hārūn, and several others.
By ijāzah (formal written licence) his narrations were also carried by the Hanbalī judge, al-Fakhr ibn ʿAsākir, and Abū Naṣr ibn al-Shīrāzī al-Mizzī.
We have been told that he once worked at the customs post but then abandoned that post; his condition improved, whereupon he devoted himself to his home and the congregational mosque, sold his property, and eventually fell into poverty.
He related a large corpus of traditions.
He had attended auditions in 548 AH and became the sole transmitter of a good number of those reports.
He died on Monday, the twenty-eighth of Rabīʿ al-Awwal 631 AH.

229 – Ibn ʿUnayn, Muḥammad ibn Naṣr Allāh ibn Makārim al-Ansārī *
The dignitary, leader, man of letters, and pre-eminent poet of his age: Sharaf al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Naṣr Allāh ibn Makārim ibn Ḥasan ibn ʿUnayn al-Ansārī, a Damascene from Zurʿa.
He died in 630 (1) AH at the age of eighty-one.
He heard hadith from the ḥāfiẓ Ibn ʿAsākir. He was one of the stalwart poets—especially in satire—and a consummate scholar who had the lexical compendium al-Jamhara at his immediate recall.
He travelled through Persia and Yemen, praising their kings, yet his religious practice was scant.
