Among the texts he personally heard were the entire Ḥilyat al-Awliyāʾ from Ibn al-Baṭṭī; seven parts of al-Muntaqā; al-Mukhalliṣ, which he received from Ibn al-Laḥḥās; Sunan Ibn Mājah from Abū Zurʿah; and the Musnad of al-Ḥumaydī—our informant for it was Ibn al-Dajjājī. He was a pleasant shaykh, keen on narration and of fine character.
Ibn Nuqṭah said: “His auditions were sound.”
Al-Mundhirī (1) stated: “He died in the ʿAḍudī Hospital on 19 Rabīʿ al-Ākhir 635 AH.”
Ibn al-Najjār remarked: “He lived next to our shaykh Ibn Mashshiq, who enabled him to hear a great deal. He was an unobjectionable shaykh, good-mannered, patient, and dignified in spite of his poverty.”

A righteous, long-lived shaykh and authoritative transmitter—the eminent traveler of his time—Abū al-Munajjā ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿAlī ibn Zayd, known as Ibn al-Lattī al-Baghdādī, al-Ḥarīmī, al-Ṭāhirī, the silk-seller.
He was born on Shāriʿ Dār al-Raqīq in Dhū al-Qaʿdah 545 AH. In 549 AH his paternal uncle arranged for him to attend and listen to Abū al-Qāsim Saʿīd ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Bannāʾ.
He heard extensively from Abū al-Waqt al-Sijzī, including works such as the Sunan of al-Dārimī and the Selected Narrations from the Musnad of ʿAbd, along with other material.
He also received ḥadīth from Abū al-Futūḥ al-Ṭāʾī and Abū al-Maʿālī Ibn al-Laḥḥās.
