Ibn Murtaḍā, Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Karīm al-Munḏirī, al-Tāj al-Gharrāfī, Abū al-Maʿālī al-Abarqūhī, and a number of others.
Several additional students received written authorisations (ijāza) from him as well.
The last person to narrate from him in a face-to-face session was al-Jamāl Muḥammad ibn Mukarram, the scribe.
Al-Munḏirī (1) said: “He trod an excellent path, reciting the Qur’an copiously night and day; his father was among the recluses famed for righteousness.”
I add: Murtaḍā taught in Damascus; he possessed fiqh, learning, and keen insight, and he copied many works in his own hand.
Taqī ʿUbayd (2) said: “He was poor yet patient and well-accepted; he would complete thirty full readings of the Qur’an each month, and in Ramadan sixty.”
He passed away in the al-Shāriʿ quarter (3) on the 29th of Shawwāl, 634 AH, and he was a Shāfiʿī.
I say: al-Munḏirī did not state that he had mastered the seven canonical readings.
