I heard al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad say, “Abū ʿImrān al-Juwaynī stayed in our house, and he would spend the night standing in prayer, weeping for a long time.” (1)
Abū ʿImrān passed away in Juwayn in the year 323 AH.
Aḥmad ibn Hibat Allāh narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Muʿizz ibn Muḥammad narrated to us; Zāhir ibn Ṭāhir narrated to us; Aḥmad ibn Manṣūr narrated to us; Abū Nuʿaym ʿAbd al-Malik ibn al-Ḥasan—meaning, the scholar of Isfarāyīn—narrated to us; Mūsā ibn al-ʿAbbās narrated to us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Hāshim narrated to us; Wakīʿ narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrāhīm, from al-Aswad, from ʿĀʾishah, who said:
“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill with the illness that led to his death, he said, ‘Tell Abū Bakr to lead the people in prayer.’” (2)
Among those who died the same year as al-Juwaynī were Ismāʿīl ibn al-ʿAbbās al-Warrāq, Abū ʿUbayd al-Qāsim ibn Ismāʿīl al-Maḥāmilī, Abū Nuʿaym ibn ʿAdī al-Jurjānī, ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sukkārī, Ibrāhīm Nifṭawayh, and Usāmah ibn ʿAlī ibn Saʿīd al-Rāzī.
