—and, by ijāza (written authorisation): Abū al-ʿAbbās Ibn al-Shiḥna; Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Bukhārī; Ibn al-ʿImād the scribe; and Sitt al-Fuqahāʾ, daughter of al-Wāsiṭī.

He journeyed for trade for a period of time and was a devout, upright man, a memoriser of the Book of Allah—truthful and trustworthy—never relating anything except from his own autograph manuscripts, all the while continuing his business dealings.

Students flocked to him and he transmitted abundantly. He attended a reading of Sunan Ibn Mājah, though with a lacuna: he missed the first half of the twelfth fascicle—half a section—from the transmission of Abū Zurʿa al-Maqdisī.

He narrated al-Maqāmāt from Ibn al-Naqqūr; al-Mustanīr fī al-Qirāʾāt from Ibn al-Muqarrab; the Dīwān of al-Mutanabbī from one of his teachers, Abū al-Barakāt al-Wakīl; Gharīb Abī ʿUbayd from ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq al-Yūsufī; al-Muṣāfaḥa by al-Barqānī from Shahda; al-Maghāzī by al-Umawī from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Manṣūr al-Mawṣilī; Sunan al-Dāraquṭnī from ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq; Faḍāʾil al-Qurʾān by Abū ʿUbayd from Abū Zurʿa, and a number of other works.

He assumed the teaching position at the Mustanṣiriyya after Abū al-Ḥasan Ibn al-Qaṭīʿī. When he grew elderly he was excused from attending in person and taught from his home. He sent his stepson with his wealth to the Maghrib, but the money was lost and he was left with only a few small houses.

He died in Jumādā al-Ūlā, 641 AH (1).
