He died in 271 AH, having reached his nineties.
185 – al-ʿIjlī, Abū al-Ḥasan Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Ṣāliḥ
The imam, ḥāfiẓ, peerless authority, and ascetic: Abū al-Ḥasan Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Ṣāliḥ ibn Muslim al-ʿIjlī, al-Kūfī, who later took up residence in Ṭarābulus al-Maghrib (Tripoli of the West). This city is the first of the towns of the Maghrib; between it and Alexandria is a month’s journey, after which one travels farther west to Tunis, today the capital of the province of Ifrīqiya.
Birth: Kūfah, 182 AH.
He heard ḥadith from Ḥusayn al-Juʿfī, Shabābah ibn Sawwār, Abū Dāwūd al-Ḥafarī, Yaʿlā ibn ʿUbayd and his brother Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd, Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf al-Firyābī, his father—the imam ʿAbd Allah ibn Ṣāliḥ the Qurʾān-reciter—ʿAffān, and others of their cohort.
Those who narrated from him include his son Ṣāliḥ ibn Aḥmad, Saʿīd ibn ʿUthmān al-Aʿnāqī, Muḥammad ibn Fuṭays, ʿUthmān ibn Ḥadīd al-Ilbīrī, and Saʿīd ibn Isḥāq.
I have not come across any hadith that he himself transmitted.
