210 – Ibn al-Yazīdī, Muḥammad ibn al-ʿAbbās ibn Muḥammad
The erudite scholar and master of Arabic, Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn al-ʿAbbās ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Muḥammad Yaḥyā (1) ibn al-Mubārak al-Yazīdī of Baghdad, was unrivalled in transmitting linguistic rarities and the speech of the early Arabs, and he was an authority in grammar.

His writings include: The Horse; The Merits of the ʿAbbāsid Family; Accounts of the Yazīdīs; and a treatise on grammar.

He tutored the sons of the caliph al-Muqtadir.

He died in Jumādā al-Ākhirah, 310 AH, at the age of eighty-two years and three months.

211 – al-Ḍabbī, Abū al-Ṭayyib Muḥammad ibn al-Mufaddal ibn Salamah
The eminent scholar Abū al-Ṭayyib Muḥammad ibn al-Mufaddal ibn Salamah ibn ʿĀṣim al-Ḍabbī, a Baghdadi Shāfiʿī and the foremost of Ibn Surayj’s pupils, possessed a brilliant mind but died while still young.

He authored several books and advanced a number of legal opinions within the school, among them: that whoever abandons the prayer is an unbeliever, and that if a guardian permits a spendthrift to marry, the marriage is invalid just as it is in the case of a minor.
