322 – Ibn ʿAlam, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Baghdādī*
The shaykh and long-lived scholar, Abū Bakr—also called Abū ʿAbd Allāh (1)—Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmruwayh al-Baghdādī, the coppersmith (al-Ṣaffār), widely known as Ibn ʿAlam.

He possessed a well-known juzʾ (fascicle) which we ourselves have heard.

He narrated from Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq al-Ṣaghānī, Aḥmad ibn Abī Khaythamah, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad, Muḥammad ibn Naṣr, and others.

Those who transmitted from him include Hilāl al-Ḥaffār, Ibn Razqawayh, Ibn al-Faḍl al-Qaṭṭān, and Abū ʿAlī ibn Shādhān.

Al-Khaṭīb said: “I never heard anyone mention him except with praise, and all that he had amounted to a single juzʾ (2). He died in Shaʿbān of the year 349 AH.

He then added: It is said that he reached one hundred and one years of age (3).”

I add: his report from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad regarding his father’s statement is not to be considered objectionable.
