In the same year:
Abū al-Fatḥ al-Ḥasan ibn Jaʿfar al-ʿAlawī rebelled, called people to pledge allegiance to himself, and adopted the title al-Rāshid bi’llāh (1).

No member of the Iraqi caravan performed the pilgrimage that year either [while the khuṭbah was still being delivered for al-Ḥākim]—indeed, innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn (we belong to Allah and to Him we return).

[Among the notable deaths in that year:]
Abū Masʿūd al-Dimashqī (2) Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd, the eminent ḥāfiẓ (master ḥadīth memorizer) and author of the book “al-Aṭrāf ʿalā al-Ṣaḥīḥayn” (3). He travelled to many regions—Baghdad, Basra, Kūfa, Wāsiṭ, Ahwāz, Isfahān, and Khurāsān. He was among the truthful, trustworthy, [meticulously accurate] and perceptive ḥuffāẓ, yet he transmitted only a small body of material. Those who narrated from him include Abū al-Qāsim al-Ṭabarī, Abū Dharr al-Harawī, Ḥamzah al-Sahmī, and others.

He died in Baghdad in the month of Rajab (4). He had stipulated that Shaykh Abū Ḥāmid al-Isfarāyīnī should oversee his funeral; the latter led the prayer over him, and he was buried in the cemetery of the Manṣūr Mosque, near the side streets—may Allah have mercy on him. Ibn ʿAsākir composed a biographical entry for him and praised him (5).

Khalaf ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥamdūn (6), Abū Muḥammad (7) al-Wāsiṭī, journeyed widely and heard a great many narrations. He then returned to Baghdad, travelled again to Syria and Egypt, and scholars copied ḥadīth from his selections, so he compiled “Aṭrāf ʿalā al-Ṣaḥīḥayn.” He possessed thorough knowledge and an excellent memory. Later he came back to Baghdad, devoted himself to trade, and abandoned scholarly pursuits until he died in this same year (8). Among those who transmitted from him was al-Azharī (9).
