Zaynab bint ʿAbd al-Raḥmān; Aḥmad transmitted to us from Zaynab; Ismāʿīl ibn Abī al-Qāsim transmitted to us; ʿUmar ibn Aḥmad al-Zāhid transmitted to us; Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Ṣuʿlūkī the jurist narrated to us; Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Sarrāj narrated to us; Abū Kurayb narrated to us; Ibrāhīm ibn Yūsuf narrated to us, from his father, from Abū Isḥāq, from Abū Qays al-Awdī, from Suwayd ibn Ghafala, from ʿAlī—may Allah be pleased with him—who related that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“At the end of time a people will appear who recite the Quran but it does not pass beyond their collarbones; they will bolt out of the religion as an arrow passes clean through its prey; fighting them is a duty upon every Muslim.” (1)
His son, the hadith scholar, passed away:
38 – Yūsuf
Imam of Masjid Fulūs. He died in 643 AH, still a young man of twenty-three years, and he left no transmissions.
He, in turn, left behind his son:
39 – Shaykh Bahāʾ al-Dīn Muḥammad, scribe of judicial rulings *
He was still a child, so his maternal grandfather—Shaykh ʿAlam al-Dīn al-Andalusī, the Qurʾān reciter—reared him, taught him the seven canonical readings, and trained him in the proportioned naskh script. I heard from him, and he died in 699 AH. (2)
His own son, the peerless ḥāfiẓ ʿAlam al-Dīn al-Qāsim, read a great deal of hadith to him. (3) May Allah have mercy on them all.
