Ibn Khaldun—he was the only one who preserved their reports—and, among others, al-Majd Ibn al-Banyasi.

He received an ijāza from Abū Ṭāhir al-Silafī and from Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī al-Raḥabī.

He narrated abundantly, lived a long life, and his renown spread far and wide. He was a respected, gracious shaykh, greatly honored, hailing from a household distinguished for its precedence and for hadith transmission, and his narrations are sound. His two brothers, Asʿad and Muḥammad, also heard ḥadith from Ibn ʿAsākir.

Those who transmitted from him include: al-Dimyāṭī, Ibn al-Ẓāhirī, Zayn al-Dīn al-Fāriqī, al-ʿImād Ibn al-Bālisi, his brother ʿAbd Allāh, Ṭalḥah al-Qurashī, Muḥyī al-Dīn Yaḥyā ibn al-Maqdisī, Judge Sharaf al-Dīn Ibn al-Ḥāfiẓ, Ismāʿīl and ʿAbd Allāh—the two sons of Abū al-Nāʾib—Amīn al-Dīn Sālim ibn Ṣaṣrā, his sister Asmāʾ, Taj al-Dīn Aḥmad ibn Muzayz, and many others.

He passed away in Damascus on the twentieth of Ṣafar, 652 AH, and he granted a general authorization to every Muslim who lived to meet him.
