Ibn Ḥibbān said, “He died in 182 or 183 AH, on the eighth of Shawwāl.”

He was among the most scrupulously devout people of his age.

When his father—who had been governor of al-Ubulla—died, he left an estate of five-hundred thousand, yet he did not take from it so much as a single coin.

Abū al-Maʿālī al-Abarqūhī informed us; al-Fatḥ ibn ʿAbd al-Salām in Baghdad informed us; Hibat Allāh the accountant informed us; Abū al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Naqqūr informed us; ʿĪsā ibn ʿAlī dictated to us, saying: It was read to Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Nayrūz while I was listening, and it was said to him, “ʿAmr ibn ʿAlī narrated to you.” He replied, “ʿAmr ibn ʿAlī narrated to us, and Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ narrated to us, and Muḥammad ibn Abī Ḥafṣah narrated to us, from al-Zuhrī, from Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from Abū Hurayrah, who said:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘None of you should prevent his neighbour from placing a beam in his wall. What is the matter with you that I see you turning away from it? By Allah, I will surely fling it between your shoulders!’”

This is a singular hadith, one of the elevated solitary chains.
