Among the notable figures who died in this same year were:

Sharaf al-Dawla ibn ʿAḍud al-Dawla ibn Rukn al-Dawla ibn Būya, the Daylamite.
He ruled Baghdad after his father. He loved what is good and hated what is evil, and he ordered that all confiscations be discontinued. He was stricken with dropsy, and it continued to worsen until (1) he died on the night of Friday, the second of Jumada al-Akhira, at the age of twenty-eight years and five months. His reign lasted two years and eight months. His coffin was carried to his father’s tomb at the shrine of ʿAli; they were all inclined toward Shiʿism.

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar ibn al-ʿAbbās (2), known as Abū Bakr al-Najjār and also nicknamed Ghundar. He narrated from Abū Bakr al-Nīsābūrī and his peers, and people transmitted from him in turn. He was intelligent, had committed the Qur’an to memory with fine accuracy, (3) and was counted among the trustworthy narrators.

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Karīm (4) ibn Budayl, Abū al-Faḍl al-Khuzāʿī al-Jurjānī. He came to Baghdad and related hadith there. Al-Khaṭīb said: “He was devoted to the Qur’anic readings and compiled their chains of transmission. Later it reached me that he confused matters and was not reliable in what he reported. He even composed a book on variant letters, attributing it to Abū Ḥanīfa. Al-Dāraquṭnī and a group of scholars wrote that this book is fabricated and baseless, so he was disgraced. He left Baghdad for the Jibāl region; his affair became well known there and his status fell. At first he used to call himself Kumayl (5), then he changed it to Muḥammad (6).”

Muḥammad ibn al-Muẓaffar (7) ibn Mūsā (8) ibn ʿĪsā ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Salama ibn Iyās, Abū al-Ḥusayn (9) al-Bazzāz, the ḥāfiẓ. He was born in Muḥarram of the year 286 AH, and his first audition of hadith was in Muḥarram (10) of the year
