His brother, Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan b. Yazīd b. Mājah (1) al-Qazwīnī, also narrated in Baghdad, around the year 280 AH, when he performed the pilgrimage on behalf of the ḥāfiẓ Ismāʿīl b. Tawbah al-Qazwīnī.
The ḥāfiẓ Abū Ṭālib Aḥmad b. Naṣr heard ḥadīths from him.
I myself heard the book Sunan Ibn Mājah in Baalbek from the judge Tāj al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Khāliq b. ʿAbd al-Salām (2); in that session I read aloud roughly the first third of the work.
He then transmitted the entire book to me with his chain going back to the shaykh, the imām Muwaffaq al-Dīn ʿAbd Allāh b. Qudāmah, in an audition held in 611 AH.
I also heard the whole collection in Aleppo from Abū Saʿīd Sunqur al-Zaynī (3), by way of his audition from Shaykh Muwaffaq al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Laṭīf b. Yūsuf, whose chain—together with his—runs through Abū Zurʿah al-Maqdisī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Muqawwimī, al-Qāsim b. Abī al-Mundhir al-Khaṭīb, and Abū al-Ḥasan al-Qaṭṭān back to Ibn Mājah himself.
The Sunan of Ibn Mājah is arranged in thirty-two books.
Abū al-Ḥasan al-Qaṭṭān said: “The Sunan contains one thousand five hundred chapters and a total of four thousand ḥadīths.” (4)
With the isnād just cited back to Ibn Mājah, he narrated: “Ismāʿīl b. Ḥafṣ told us; Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh told us; from al-Aʿmash; from Abū Sufyān; from Jābir; from the Prophet ﷺ who said: ‘When the deceased enters the grave, the sun is shown to him at the moment of its setting…’”
