Ibn al-Akhram al-Isbahani, the jurist.
He travelled far and wide and studied under Abū Kurayb, al-Mufaḍḍal ibn Ghassān al-Ghalābī, Ziyād ibn Yaḥyā al-Ḥassānī, ʿAlī ibn Ḥarb, ʿAmmār ibn Khālid, and a number of others.
Those who narrated from him include Abū Aḥmad al-ʿAssāl, Abū Shaykh, Aḥmad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Afrijah, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar, and many others.
He left a testament, most of which is grounded in the principles of the early generations. In it he says: “Whoever claims that his lafẓ of the Quran is created is a disbeliever.”
It appears that by lafẓ he meant the articulated wording itself (al-malfūẓ), not the mere act of articulation (al-talafuẓ).
He died in 301 AH.
