117 – Ḥimās al-Hamdānī, Abū al-Qāsim ibn Marwān ibn Simāk
The eminent scholar, mufti, and judge, Abū al-Qāsim Ḥimās ibn Marwān ibn Simāk al-Hamdānī al-Maghribī.
In his youth he kept the company of Sahnūn. In judgment he was scrupulously just, keen-sighted in jurisprudence, a true authority. Imām Yaḥyā ibn ʿUmar habitually praised and extolled him.
Ibn Ḥārith said, “He was counted among the devoted worshippers, a man given to night prayers and fasting, clad in wool, yet possessed of brilliant mastery of fiqh.”
Abū al-ʿArab said, “He heard ḥadith from Sahnūn, Ibn ʿAbdus, and others.”
It is related that he once rose in the night and found his two sons, his elderly wife, and the servant all standing in prayer; he was overjoyed at this.
Many anecdotes are told of his asceticism and contentment.
He died, likewise, in the year 302 AH, in Ifrīqiya.
