one fascicle from al-Dūrī, another from al-Kudaymī, and a third from Abū Qilāba. We copied the fascicle of al-Kudaymī and part of the one by Abū Qilāba al-Raqāshī.
When he came out, he said, “Bring them here.”
We replied, “We did not write anything from the fascicle of ʿAbbās.”
He retorted, “I only lost hope in my donkey when I turned it loose among the qat (fodder clover) (1); it went off to busy itself with karnab (cabbage) (2).”
We then read to him until we came to a hadith in which ʿUrwa relates from ʿĀʾisha. Abū Bishr said to the shaykh, “This ʿUrwa transmits a great deal from ʿĀʾisha—was he her husband?”
Abū Ṭāhir stood up in anger and later recounted the incident to his companions.
Al-Ḥākim afterward supplied him with several hadiths in the biographical entry, and Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ibn Mandah and others narrated copiously from him. His transmissions reach us with elevated chains.

166 – Ayyūb ibn Ṣāliḥ ibn Sulaymān ibn Hāshim ibn Gharīb *
The erudite scholar, Mufti of al-Andalus, Abū Ṣāliḥ al-Maʿāfirī, al-Qurṭubī, the Mālikī (3).
He narrated from the jurist al-ʿUtbī, Abū Zayd, Ibn Muzayn, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Khālid.
Abū al-Walīd Ibn al-Faraḍī said: “He was an imam in the school; in his time legal opinions revolved around him and around Ibn Lubābah.”
