Shabīb, Muḥammad ibn ʿAqīl al-Khuzāʿī, Muḥammad ibn Maḥmash, Isḥāq ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Razīn, ʿAlī ibn Ḥasan al-Dhuhlī, Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Saʿdī, and others besides.
Al-Ḥākim said: “His father, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿUmar ibn Furrūkh ibn Faḍālah al-Balkhī, served as judge in Naysābūr during the governorship of Qutaybah ibn Muslim; he was originally from Kufa.
“He added: Ḥafṣ was the most learned of Abū Ḥanīfah’s companions in Khurāsān. He accepted the judgeship, then regretted it, turned to worship, and Ibn al-Mubārak used to visit him.”
Ibn al-Mubārak said of him: “Jurisprudential insight, dignity, and piety were united in him.”
Al-Ḥākim further noted: “The lane of Ḥafṣ in the city is named after him, and whenever Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Bukhārī came to Naysābūr he would teach in his mosque….” He then quoted for him several rare and singular narrations.
Al-Nasaʾī employed his reports as evidence in his Sunan, whereas Abū Ḥātim al-Rāzī said, “His ḥadīth is muḍṭarib (inconsistent).” (1)
Ibrāhīm ibn Ḥafṣ said: “My father died in Dhū al-Qaʿdah of the year 199 AH.”
I (the author) say: He was in his eighties.
