Something like this may also be encountered, purely by chance, in books of fiqh, medicine, and other disciplines; the author neither aims for it nor is even aware of it. Would any Muslim ever claim that the Almighty’s words, “huge basins like reservoirs (1) and cauldrons firmly set” (34:13), constitute a line of poetry? God forbid! They simply happen, in that particular sentence, to fall into a metrical pattern—and Allah knows best.

108 – al-Anmāṭī, Ibrāhīm ibn Isḥāq ibn Yūsuf
The imam, ḥāfiẓ, and critical scholar, Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm ibn Isḥāq ibn Yūsuf al-Naysābūrī, known as al-Anmāṭī, author of the celebrated Great Tafsīr.

He heard ḥadith from: Isḥāq ibn Rāhwayh; ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar ibn al-Rammāḥ; Muḥammad ibn Rāfiʿ; several scholars in his own city; Muḥammad ibn Ḥumayd and a group in Rayy; ʿAmr ibn ʿAlī; Ḥumayd ibn Masʿadah; a company in Basra; ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah; Abū Kurayb in Kufa; Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-ʿAdanī; ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿImrān al-ʿĀbidī in Mecca; Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān Luwain; and Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿīd al-Jawharī in Baghdad.

Those who narrated from him include: Abū Ḥāmid ibn al-Sharqī, Muḥammad ibn Yaʿqūb ibn al-Akhram, Yaḥyā ibn Muḥammad al-ʿAnbarī, and others.

He lived a little over eighty years and died in 303 AH. He was counted among the scholars of tradition—may Allah have mercy on him.
