Al-Shīrāzī says in Al-Alqāb: “Al-ʿAskari was known as ‘Shuqayr the ḥāfiẓ.’”

Al-Ḥākim Abū ʿAbd Allāh remarks: “He was one of the great itinerant scholars, prolific in authorship, and he stayed in Nīshābūr for some time on account of a business he maintained there.”

Ahmad ibn Hibat Allāh informed us; ʿAbd al-Muʿizz ibn Muḥammad told us; Zāhir ibn Ṭāhir told us; Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān told us; Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad, the ascetic, told us; ʿAlī ibn Saʿīd al-ʿAskari told us; al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Ḥammād narrated to us, saying: My grandmother Bānah bint Bahz ibn Ḥakīm related to me, from her father, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Whoever pronounces the tasbīḥ seventy times at sunset, Allah will forgive all of his previous deeds.”

A hadith that is munkar.

Bānah is an unknown narrator (1).
