Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi
  1. Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ash-Sharqī.

He studied under ad-Dhuhlī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Hāshim, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Bishr, Aḥmad ibn al-Azhar, Aḥmad ibn Manṣūr Zāj al-Marwazī, and several others.

Among those who narrated from him were Abū Bakr ibn Isḥāq aṣ-Ṣibghī, Abū ʿAlī the ḥāfiẓ, Yaḥyā ibn Ismāʿīl al-Ḥarbī, Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿAbdūs, Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn al-ʿAlawī, and others besides.

He added, “In the medical sciences he was the unrivalled scholar of his day.”⦗1⦘ Al-Ḥākim further remarked, “He never abandoned drinking (wine) until he died.”⦗2⦘ People censured him for that,⦗3⦘ and his brother therefore deemed it impermissible for them to receive transmission from him.

(1) In his youth he used to visit Ayyub al-Rahawi, the personal physician of Abd Allah b. Tahir; see Lisan al-Mizan, 3/342. (2) Al-Dhahabi states in Mizan al-Iʿtidal, 2/494: “His auditions are sound—taken from the likes of al-Dhuhli and his peers—yet scholars criticized him for his habitual consumption of intoxicants.” I add: he was probably drinking nabidh, which the Kufan jurists consider permissible, not khamr (wine), whose prohibition is unanimously agreed upon.
