—from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad al-Shāfiʿī in Mecca; from Muḥammad ibn Muʿāwiyah of Nishapur; and from Muḥammad ibn Muqātil al-Marwazī. He gathered a vast collection and produced several compilations.
Those who transmitted from him include Abū Ḥātim ibn Ḥibbān, who cites him in his Ṣaḥīḥ; al-ʿAbbās ibn al-Faḍl al-Naḍrawī; Bishr ibn Muḥammad al-Muzanī; and the rest of the scholars of Herat.
He died in Dhū al-Qaʿdah of the year 301 AH, which is the sounder view. Others said he passed away in Ṣafar 302 AH, having nearly reached one hundred years of age.
During that same year there also died: Ibrāhīm ibn Sharīk al-Asadī; Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Mittawayh; Abū Quṣayy Ismāʿīl ibn Muḥammad al-ʿUdhri; Ḥamzah ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā, the scribe; and ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ṣaqr al-Sukkarī.
