حَبْشُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْخَلَّالُ : وُلِدَ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، وَسَمِعَ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَرَفَةَ وَغَيْرَهُ، رَوَى عَنْهُ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ وَابْنُ شَاهِينَ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً، يَسْكُنُ بَابَ الْبَصْرَةِ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي رَمَضَانَ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ. 2457 -

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، وَاسْمُهُ: إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سَالِمِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ بِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ . وُلِدَ سَنَةَ سِتِّينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، وَتَشَاغَلَ بِالْكَلَامِ، وَكَانَ عَلَى مَذْهَبِ الْمُعْتَزِلَةِ زَمَانًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ عَنَّ لَهُ مُخَالَفَتُهُمْ، وَأَظْهَرَ مَقَالَةً خَبَطَتْ عَقَائِدَ النَّاسِ وَأَوْجَبَتِ الْفِتَنَ الْمُتَّصِلَةَ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ لَا يَخْتَلِفُونَ [فِي] أَنَّ هَذَا الْمَسْمُوعَ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ، وَأَنَّهُ نَزَلَ بِهِ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، فَالْأَئِمَّةُ الْمُعْتَمَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا إِنَّهُ قَدِيمٌ، وَالْمُعْتَزِلَةُ قَالُوا هُوَ مَخْلُوقٌ، فَوَافَقَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ الْمُعْتَزِلَةَ فِي أَنَّ هَذَا مَخْلُوقٌ، وَقَالَ: لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلَامَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا كَلَامُ اللَّهِ صِفَةٌ قَائِمَةٌ بِذَاتِهِ، مَا نَزَلَ وَلَا هُوَ مِمَّا يُسْمَعُ، وَمَا زَالَ مُنْذُ أَظْهَرَ هَذَا خَائِفًا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ لِخِلَافِهِ أَهْلَ السُّنَّةِ، حَتَّى أَنَّهُ اسْتَجَارَ بِدَارِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ التَّمِيمِيِّ حَذَرًا مِنَ الْقَتْلِ، ثُمَّ تَبِعَ أَقْوَامٌ مِنَ السَّلَاطِينِ مَذْهَبَهُ فَتَعَصَّبُوا لَهُ [وَكَثُرَ أَتْبَاعُهُ] حَتَّى تَرَكَتِ الشَّافِعِيَّةُ مُعْتَقَدَ الشَّافِعِيِّ ؓ وَدَانُوا بِقَوْلِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ. قَالَ: أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ يَزْدَادَ الْمُقْرِئُ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ: وُلِدَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي بِشْرٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ بِالْبَصْرَةِ، وَنَشَأَ بِهَا، فَأَقَامَ بِهَا أَكْثَرَ عُمْرِهِ، فَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَزَّانَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ يَقُولُ: وُلِدَ ابْنُ أَبِي بِشْرٍ سَنَةَ سِتِّينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ وَمَاتَ سَنَةَ نَيِّفٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ، وَلَمْ يَزَلْ مُعْتَزِلِيًّا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً يُنَاضِلُ عَنِ الِاعْتِزَالِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَدْ رَجَعْتُ عَنِ الِاعْتِزَالِ. قَالَ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ: وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْكَرِيَّ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُخْلِصِينَ فِي مَذْهَبِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ يَقُولُ: كَانَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ تِلْمِيذَ الْجُبَّائِيِّ يَدْرُسُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَتَعَلَّمُ مِنْهُ، لَا يُفَارِقُهُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. قَالَ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ: وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُمْرَانِيَّ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَسَبْعِينَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ يَقُولُ: لَمْ نَشْعُرْ يَوْمَ جُمْعَةٍ وَإِذَا بِالْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَدْ طَلَعَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْجَامِعِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ [بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْجُمْعَةِ] وَمَعَهُ شَرِيطٌ فَشَدَّهُ عَلَى وَسَطِهِ، ثُمَّ قَطَعَهُ وَقَالَ: اشْهَدُوا أَنِّي تَائِبٌ مِمَّا كُنْتُ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالِاعْتِزَالِ، وَتُوُفِّيَ بِبَغْدَادَ وَدُفِنَ بِمَشْرَعَةِ الرَّوَايَا، وَقَبَرُهُ الْيَوْمَ عَافِي الْأَثَرِ لَا يُلْتَفَتُ إِلَيْهِ. 2460 - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ السُّدُوسِيُّ مَوْلَاهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : سَمِعَ جَدَّهُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنَ شَيْبَةَ وَعَبَّاسًا الدُّورِيَّ وَغَيْرَهُمَا، وَرَوَى عَنْهُ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً. قَالَ: أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ: لَمَّا وُلِدْتُ دَخَلَ أَبِي عَلَى أُمِّي فَقَالَ لَهَا: إِنَّ الْمُنَجِّمِينَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا مَوْلِدَ هَذَا الصَّبِيِّ وَحَسَبُوهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَعِيشُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَقَدْ حَسَبْتُهَا أَيَّامًا وَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُعِدَّ لَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ دِينَارًا مُدَّةَ عُمْرِهِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَكْفِي الرَّجُلَ الْمُتَوَسِّطَ لَهُ وَلِعِيَالِهِ فَأَعِدِّي لَهُ حُبًّا [فَارِغًا] فَأَعَدَّتْهُ وَتَرَكَتْهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَلَأَهُ [بِالدَّنَانِيرِ] ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا: أَعِدِّي حُبًّا آخَرَ أَجْعَلُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ هَذَا اسْتِظْهَارًا [فَفَعَلَتْ وَمَلَأَهُ]، ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى حُبًّا آخَرَ وَمَلَأَهُ بِمِثْلِ مَا مَلَأَ بِهِ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْحُبَّيْنِ، وَدَفَنَ الْجَمِيعَ، فَمَا نَفَعَنِي ذَلِكَ مَعَ حَوَادِثِ الزَّمَانِ، فَقَدِ احْتَجْتُ إِلَى مَا تَرَوْنَ. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ السَّقَطِيُّ: وَرَأَيْنَاهُ فَقِيرًا جِدًّا يَجِيئُنَا بِلَا إِزَارٍ، وَنَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدِيثَ وَنَبَرُّهُ بِالشَّيْءِ بَعْدَ الشَّيْءِ، تُوُفِّيَ فِي رَبِيعٍ الْآخَرِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. 2461 - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ الْهَاشِمِيُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمِصِّيصَةِ : وَلِيَ الْقَضَاءَ بِدَسْكَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ فِي طَرِيقِ خُرَاسَانَ، وَوَرَدَ بَغْدَادَ فَحَدَّثَ بِهَا عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْغَضَائِرِيِّ، وَأَبِي عَرُوبَةَ الْحَرَّانِيِّ، وَأَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ جَوْصَا، وَغَيْرِهِمْ، وَكَانَ سَيِّئَ الْحَالِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ. 2462 - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدِ بْنِ [حَفْصٍ، أَبُو] عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدُّورِيُّ الْعَطَّارُ : وُلِدَ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، وَكَانَ يَنْزِلُ السُّدُورَ، وَهِيَ مَحَلَّةٌ فِي آخِرِ بَغْدَادَ بِالْجَانِبِ الشَّرْقِيِّ فِي أَعْلَى الْبَلَدِ، سَمِعَ يَعْقُوبَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيَّ، وَالزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ بَكَّارٍ، وَالْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَرَفَةَ، وَمُسْلِمَ بْنَ الْحَجَّاجِ فِي آخَرِينَ. رَوَى عَنْهُ ابْنُ عُقْدَةَ، وَالْآجُرِّيُّ، وَابْنُ الْجِعَابِيِّ، وَابْنُ الْمُظَفَّرِ، وَابْنُ حَيَّوَيْهِ، وَالدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ، وَغَيْرُهُمْ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً، ذَا فَهْمٍ، وَاسِعَ الرِّوَايَةِ، مَشْهُورًا بِالدِّيَانَةِ، مَذْكُورًا بِالْعِبَادَةِ. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ: مَاتَتْ وَالِدَتِي فَنَزَلْتُ فِي لَحْدِهَا فَانْفَرَجَتْ لِي فُرْجَةٌ عَنْ قَبْرٍ يَلْزَقُهَا، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ أَكْفَانٌ جُدُدٌ، عَلَى صَدْرِهِ طَاقَةُ يَاسَمِينَ طَرِيَّةً فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَشَمَمْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أَذْكَى مِنَ الْمِسْكِ، وَشَمَّهَا جَمَاعَةٌ كَانُوا مَعِي فِي الْجِنَازَةِ، ثُمَّ رَدَدْتُهَا إِلَى مَوْضِعِهَا وَسَدَدْتُ الْفُرْجَةَ. تُوُفِّيَ ابْنُ مَخْلَدٍ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَقَدِ اسْتَكْمَلَ سَبْعًا وَتِسْعِينَ سَنَةً وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَوَاحِدًا وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا. 2463 - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَدِيدِ، [أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ] : حَدَّثَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، وَمُحَمَّدِ [بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ] بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، وَبَكَّارِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ، وَكَانَ فَقِيهًا عَلَى مَذْهَبِ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ فَرْضِيًّا عَاقِلًا ثِقَةً. وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. 2464 - [يُونُسُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، أَبُو سَهْلٍ : وُلِدَ سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ. وَكَانَ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ التَّخَلِّيَ وَالْوَحْدَةَ وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ غَشَيَانَ النَّاسِ لَهُ. وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي صَفَرٍ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ]. 2465 - الْمَجْنُونُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ : قال أَبُو بَكْرٍ الشِّبْلِيُّ يَقُولُ: رَأَيْتُ يَوْمَ الْجُمْعَةِ مَعْتُوهًا عِنْدَ جَامِعِ الرَّصَافَةِ قَائِمًا عُرْيَانًا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: أَنَا مَجْنُونُ اللَّهِ! أَنَا مَجْنُونُ اللَّهِ! فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لِمَ لَا تَدْخُلُ الْجَامِعَ وَتَتَوَارَى وَتُصَلِّي؟ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ وَأَنْشَدَ: يَقُولُونَ زُرْنَا وَاقْضِ وَاجِبَ حَقِّنَا وَقَدْ أَسْقَطَتْ حَالِي حُقُوقَهُمُ عَنِّي إِذَا هُمْ رَأَوْا حَالِي وَلَمْ يَأْنَفُوا لَهَا وَلَمْ يَأْنَفُوا مِنْهَا أَنِفْتُ لَهُمُ مِنِّي [ الْوَفَيَاتُ ] وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْفَرَغَانِيُّ الصُّوفِيُّ أُسْتَاذُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الدَّقَّاقِ، وَهُوَ مَشْهُورٌ بَيْنَ الْمَشَايِخِ. وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزْدَادَ الشَّهْرُزُورِيُّ، وَكَانَ يَلِي إِمْرَةَ دِمَشْقَ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رَائِقٍ، ثُمَّ اتَّصَلَ بِالْإِخْشِيدِ فَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى شُرْطَتِهِ بِمِصْرَ. وَفِيهَا أَيْضًا مَاتَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدُوسٍ الْجِهْشَيَارِيُّ. وَفِيهَا كَانَتْ وَفَاةُ السَّعِيدِ نَصْرِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ السَّامَانِيِّ صَاحِبِ خُرَاسَانَ وَمَا وَرَاءَ النَّهْرِ، وَقَدْ مَرِضَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِالسِّلِّ سَنَةً وَشَهْرًا، وَاتَّخَذَ فِي دَارِهِ بَيْتًا سَمَّاهُ بَيْتَ الْعِبَادَةِ، فَكَانَ يَلْبَسُ ثِيَابًا نِظَافًا، وَيَمْشِي إِلَيْهِ حَافِيًا، وَيُصَلِّي فِيهِ، وَيَتَضَرَّعُ وَيُكْثِرُ الصَّلَاةَ، وَكَانَ يَجْتَنِبُ الْمُنْكِرَاتِ وَالْآثَامَ إِلَى أَنْ مَاتَ، رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ، فَقَامَ بِالْأَمْرِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَلَدُهُ نُوحُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ السَّامَانِيُّ وَلُقِّبَ بِالْأَمِيرِ الْحَمِيدِ، فَقَتَلَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَحْمَدَ النَّسَفِيَّ - وَكَانَ قَدْ طُعِنَ فِيهِ عِنْدَهُ - وَصَلَبَهُ.

✧ Mention of the notables who died in this year 2455 - Ibrāhīm b. Aḥmad b. Sahl [b. Aḥmad b. Sahl] b. al-Rabīʿ b. Sulaymān, Abū Isḥāq, mawlā of Juhaynah. He heard Bakkār b. Qutaybah and others, and died in Rajab of this year. 2456 - Ḥabshūn b. Mūsā b. Ayyūb, Abū Naṣr al-Khallāl: He was born in the year 234, and heard al-Ḥasan b. ʿArafah and others. Al-Dāraquṭnī and Ibn Shāhīn narrated from him. He was trustworthy (thiqah), and resided at Bāb al-Baṣrah. He died in Ramaḍān of this year. 2457 - Sinān b. Thābit, Abū Saʿīd al-Ṭabīb: He embraced Islam at the hand of al-Qāhir billāh, but neither his son nor anyone from his household embraced Islam. He was foremost in medicine and in many sciences, and entered upon the caliphs. He died on the first of Dhū al-Qaʿdah of this year. 2458 - ʿAbd Allāh b. Muḥammad b. al-Mubārak, Abū Muḥammad al-Naysābūrī : He accompanied Ḥamdūn al-Qaṣṣār, and had knowledge of the sacred law, and wrote down and transmitted ḥadīth. He died in Rabīʿ al-Awwal of this year. 2459 - ʿAlī b. Ismāʿīl b. Abī Bishr, whose name is Isḥāq b. Sālim b. Ismāʿīl b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Mūsā b. Bilāl b. Abī Burdah b. Abī Mūsā, Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ashʿarī the theologian. He was born in the year 260. He occupied himself with kalām, and was upon the doctrine of the Muʿtazilah for a long time. Then he resolved to oppose them, and he proclaimed a doctrine that threw people's beliefs into confusion and caused continuous tribulations. People had not differed [over the fact] that this which is heard is the speech of God, and that Gabriel ﷺ brought it down to Muḥammad ﷺ. The relied-upon imams said that it is pre-eternal, while the Muʿtazilah said it is created. Al-Ashʿarī agreed with the Muʿtazilah that this is created, and he said: This is not the speech of God; the speech of God is an attribute subsisting in His essence, which neither descended nor is it something that is heard. From the time he proclaimed this, he remained fearful for his life because of his opposition to the people of the Sunnah, to the point that he sought refuge in the house of Abū al-Ḥasan al-Tamīmī for fear of being killed. Then groups among the sultans followed his doctrine and showed partisanship for him, [and his followers became numerous], until the Shāfiʿīs abandoned the creed of al-Shāfiʿī ؓ and adhered to the saying of al-Ashʿarī. He said: Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. Ibrāhīm b. Yazdād al-Muqriʾ al-Ahwāzī al-Dimashqī: ʿAlī b. Abī Bishr al-Ashʿarī was born in al-Baṣrah and grew up there. He resided there for most of his life. I heard Abū al-Ḥasan Muḥammad b. Muḥammad al-Wazzān in al-Baṣrah saying: Ibn Abī Bishr was born in the year 260 and died in the year 330-something. He remained a Muʿtazilī for forty years, defending iʿtizāl. Then after that he said: I have recanted iʿtizāl. Al-Ahwāzī said: I heard Abū al-Ḥasan al-ʿAskarī, who was among the sincere adherents of al-Ashʿarī's doctrine, saying: Al-Ashʿarī was the pupil of al-Jubbāʾī, studying under him and learning from him, not separating from him for forty years. Al-Ahwāzī said: I heard Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥumrānī in the year 375 saying: We did not perceive it one Friday when suddenly al-Ashʿarī appeared on the minbar of the congregational mosque in al-Baṣrah [after the Friday prayer], with a cord that he tied around his waist. Then he cut it and said: Bear witness that I repent of the doctrine of iʿtizāl which I used to hold. He died in Baghdād and was buried at Mashraʿat al-Rawāyā. His grave today has vanished trace and is not paid attention to. 2460 - Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Yaʿqūb b. Shaybah b. al-Ṣalt al-Sudūsī, their mawlā, Abū Bakr: He heard his grandfather Yaʿqūb b. Shaybah and ʿAbbās al-Dūrī and others besides them. Abū ʿUmar b. Mahdī narrated from him. He was trustworthy (thiqah). He said: Abū Bakr b. Yaʿqūb b. Shaybah: When I was born, my father entered upon my mother and said to her: The astrologers have taken the horoscope of this boy and calculated it, and behold he will live such and such. I have calculated it over days, and I have resolved to prepare for him a dinar for every day of his lifetime, for that would suffice a man of moderate means, him and his family. Prepare for him an empty jar. She prepared it and placed it in the ground, and he filled it [with dinars]. Then he said to her: Prepare another jar so that I put in it the like of this as a precaution, [so she did and he filled it]. Then he called for another jar and filled it with the like of what he filled each of the two jars, and he buried all of them. But that did not avail me against the vicissitudes of time, for I have come to need what you see. Abū Bakr al-Saqaṭī said: We saw him extremely poor, coming to us without a waist-wrapper, and we would read ḥadīth to him and give him a little now and then. He died in Rabīʿ al-Ākhir of this year. 2461 - Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Yaʿqūb b. Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Malik, Abū al-Faḍl al-Hāshimī, from the people of al-Maṣṣīṣah: He held the judiciary at Daskarat al-Malik on the road to Khurāsān. He came to Baghdād and narrated there from ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Ghaḍāʾirī, Abū ʿArūbah al-Ḥarrānī, Aḥmad b. ʿUmayr b. Jawṣā, and others. He was of bad repute in ḥadīth. 2462 - Muḥammad b. Makhlad b. [Ḥafṣ, Abū] ʿAbd Allāh al-Dūrī al-ʿAṭṭār: He was born in the year 233. He used to reside in al-Sudūr, which is a quarter at the far end of Baghdād on the eastern side, in the upper part of the city. He heard Yaʿqūb b. Ibrāhīm al-Dawraqī, al-Zubayr b. Bakkār, al-Ḥasan b. ʿArafah, and Muslim b. al-Ḥajjāj, among others. Ibn ʿUqdah, al-Ājurrī, Ibn al-Jiʿābī, Ibn al-Muẓaffar, Ibn Ḥayyuwayh, al-Dāraquṭnī, and others narrated from him. He was trustworthy (thiqah), possessed of understanding, of vast transmission, renowned for piety, and remembered for worship. Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad b. Makhlad said: My mother died, and I went down into her niche. A gap opened for me to a grave adjoining hers, and behold there was a man upon whom were new shrouds, and on his chest was a sprig of fresh jasmine. I took it and smelled it, and it was more fragrant than musk. A group who were with me at the funeral smelled it too. Then I returned it to its place and closed the gap. Ibn Makhlad died in Jumādā al-Ākhirah of this year, having completed ninety-seven years, eight months, and twenty-one days. 2463 - Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥasan b. Abī al-Ḥadīd, [Abū al-Ḥusayn]: He narrated from Yūnus b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā, Muḥammad [b. ʿAbd Allāh] b. ʿAbd al-Ḥakam, and Bakkār b. Qutaybah. He was a jurist upon the doctrine of Abū Ḥanīfah, an expert in the law of inheritance, intelligent, and trustworthy (thiqah). He died in Jumādā al-Ūlā of this year. 2464 - [Yūnus b. Aḥmad b. Yūnus b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā, Abū Sahl: He was born in the year 286. He was among the most virtuous of people. He loved seclusion and solitude, and disliked people coming to him. He died in Ṣafar of this year]. 2465 - Al-Majnūn al-Baghdādī: Abū Bakr al-Shiblī said: On Friday I saw a simpleton near the mosque of al-Ruṣāfah, standing naked, saying: I am the madman of God! I am the madman of God! I said to him: Why do you not enter the mosque, conceal yourself, and pray? He looked at me and recited: They say: Visit us and fulfill the obligation of our due, Yet my state has dropped their claims from me. When they saw my state and did not disdain it, And did not disdain me for it, I disdained myself for them. [The Deaths] In this year Abū Bakr Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl al-Farghānī the Sufi died, the master of Abū Bakr al-Daqqāq, and he is famous among the shaykhs. In this year Muḥammad b. Yazdād al-Shahrazūrī died. He had governed Damascus for Muḥammad b. Rāʾiq, then attached himself to al-Ikhshīd, who appointed him over his police in Egypt. In this year also Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad b. ʿAbdūs al-Jihshiyārī died. And in it occurred the death of al-Saʿīd Naṣr b. Aḥmad b. Ismāʿīl al-Sāmānī, lord of Khurāsān and Transoxiana. He had fallen ill with consumption a year and a month before his death. He took a room in his house and called it the House of Worship. He would wear clean clothes, walk to it barefoot, pray in it, humble himself, and pray much. He avoided reprehensible acts and sins until he died, may God have mercy on him. Then his son Nūḥ b. Naṣr al-Sāmānī took charge of the affair after him and was given the title al-Amīr al-Ḥamīd. He killed Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-Nasafī — who had been maligned before him — and crucified him.
