ذِكْرُ مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مِنَ الْأَكَابِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، أَبُو بَكْرٍ الرَّازِيُّ الْفَقِيهُ إِمَامُ أَهْلِ الرَّأْيِ فِي وَقْتِهِ، كَانَ مَشْهُورًا بِالزُّهْدِ وَالْوَرَعِ، وَرَدَ بَغْدَادَ فِي شَبِيبَتِهِ، وَدَرَسَ الْفِقْهَ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْكَرْخِيِّ، وَلَمْ يَزَلْ حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَيْهِ الرِّئَاسَةُ، وَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُتَفَقِّهَةُ، وَخُوطِبَ فِي أَنْ يَلِيَ قَضَاءَ الْقُضَاةِ، فَامْتَنَعَ، وَأُعِيدَ عَلَيْهِ الْخِطَابُ، فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ، وَلَهُ تَصَانِيفُ كَثِيرَةٌ ضِمْنَهَا أَحَادِيثُ رَوَاهَا عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمِّ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ، وَغَيْرِهِمَا. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَبْهَرِيُّ: خَاطَبَنِي الْمُطِيعُ عَلَى قَضَاءِ الْقُضَاةِ، وَكَانَ السَّفِيرَ فِي ذَلِكَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو [ الشَّرَابِيُّ، فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَشَرْتُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الرَّازِيِّ، فَأَحْضَرَ الْخِطَابَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَسَأَلَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ] مَعُونَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَخُوطِبَ فَامْتَنَعَ، وَخَلَوْتُ بِهِ فَقَالَ: تُشِيرُ عَلَيَّ بِذَلِكَ. فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَرَى لَكَ ذَلِكَ. ثُمَّ قُمْنَا إِلَى بَيْنِ يَدَيْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ [ بْنِ ] أَبِي عَمْرٍو، فَأَعَادَ خِطَابَهُ وَعُدْتُ إِلَى مَعُونَتِهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: أَلَيْسَ قَدْ شَاوَرْتُكَ فَأَشَرْتَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَفْعَلَ ؟ فَوَجِمَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: تُشِيرُ عَلَيْنَا بِإِنْسَانٍ، ثُمَّ تُشِيرُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ. قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، أَمَا لِي فِي ذَلِكَ أُسْوَةٌ بِمَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، أَشَارَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا نَافِعًا الْقَارِئَ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَأَشَارَ عَلَى نَافِعٍ أَنْ لَا يَقْبَلَ. فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: أَشَرْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِنَافِعٍ لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَعْرِفْ مِثْلَهُ، وَأَشَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ؛ لِأَنَّهُ يَحْصُلُ لَهُ أَعْدَاءٌ وَحُسَّادٌ، فَكَذَلِكَ أَنَا أَشَرْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهِ لِأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ مِثْلَهُ، وَأَشَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ؛ لِأَنَّهُ أَسْلَمُ لِدِينِهِ. قَالَ الصَّيْمَرِيُّ: وَتُوُفِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الرَّازِيُّ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ سَنَةَ سَبْعِينَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْخُوَارِزْمِيُّ، الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ

خَيْرًا، وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْفَوَارِسِ: تُوُفِّيَ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ لِسَبْعٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ شَوَّالَ، وَكَانَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ . مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ

أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْبَرْقَانِيُّ وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُمَا، وَكَانَ حَافِظًا ثِقَةً . وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيِّ الْحَافِظِ: أَنَّ غُنْدُرًا خَرَجَ مِنْ مَرْوٍ قَاصِدًا بُخَارَى، فَمَاتَ فِي الْمَفَازَةِ سَنَةَ سَبْعِينَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ [ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ ]. أَبُو الْفَرَجِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ فَسَانْجِسَ وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو الْفَرَجِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ فَسَانْجِسَ، وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْآمِدِيُّ. وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ الْقَائِدُ أَبُو مَحْمُودٍ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَالِي دِمَشْقَ لِلْعَزِيزِيِّ، وَقَامَ بَعْدَهُ جَيْشُ بْنُ الصَّمْصَامَةِ. أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّحْوِيُّ اللُّغَوِيُّ ابْنُ خَالَوَيْهِ: الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ خَالَوَيْهِ، أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّحْوِيُّ اللُّغَوِيُّ صَاحِبُ الْمُصَنَّفَاتِ، أَصْلُهُ مِنْ هَمَذَانَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بَغْدَادَ فَأَدْرَكَ بِهَا مَشَايِخَ هَذَا الشَّأْنِ، كَأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ الْأَنْبَارِيِّ وَابْنِ دُرَيْدٍ وَابْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ، وَأَبِي عُمَرَ الزَّاهِدِ، وَاشْتَغَلَ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ السِّيرَافِيِّ، ثُمَّ صَارَ إِلَى حَلَبَ فَعَظُمَتْ مَكَانَتُهُ عِنْدَ آلِ حَمْدَانَ، وَكَانَ سَيْفُ الدَّوْلَةِ يُكْرِمُهُ وَهُوَ أَحَدُ جُلَسَائِهِ، وَلَهُ مَعَ الْمُتَنَبِّي مُنَاظَرَاتٌ. وَقَدْ سَرَدَ لَهُ ابْنُ خَلِّكَانَ مُصَنَّفَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً مِنْهَا " كِتَابُ لَيْسَ " ; لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْثُرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ فِيهِ: لَيْسَ فِي كَلَامِ الْعَرَبِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَ " كِتَابُ الْآلِ " تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ عَلَى أَقْسَامِهِ وَتَرْجَمَ الْأَئِمَّةَ الِاثْنَىْ عَشَرَ، وَإِعْرَابَ ثَلَاثِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، وَشَرَحَ الدُّرَيْدِيَّةَ، وَغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ، وَلَهُ شِعْرٌ حَسَنٌ، وَكَانَ فَرْدًا فِي زَمَانِهِ، رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Translation
✧ Mention of the notables who died in this year Aḥmad b. ʿAlī, Abū Bakr al-Rāzī The jurist, imam of the people of opinion in his time, was famous for asceticism and piety. He came to Baghdad in his youth and studied jurisprudence under Abū al-Ḥasan al-Karkhī, and he continued until leadership came to him, and students of jurisprudence traveled to him. He was addressed about assuming the office of chief judge, but he refused. The address was repeated to him, but he did not do it. He has many works, among which are hadiths he narrated from Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Aṣamm, Sulaymān al-Ṭabarānī, and others. Abū Bakr al-Abharī said: Al-Muṭīʿ addressed me about the chief judgeship, and the intermediary in that was Abū al-Ḥasan b. Abī ʿAmr [al-Sharābī]. I refused him and pointed to Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. ʿAlī al-Rāzī. He brought the address about that, and Abū al-Ḥasan b. Abī ʿAmr asked me to help him with it. He was addressed, but he refused. I was alone with him, and he said: You advise me to do that. I said: I do not think that is right for you. Then we rose before Abū al-Ḥasan [b.] Abī ʿAmr, and he repeated his address, and I returned to helping him. He said to me: Did I not consult you and you advised me not to do it? Abū al-Ḥasan b. Abī ʿAmr was abashed at that and said: You point us to a man, then you advise him not to do it. I said: Yes. Do I not have in that a model in Mālik b. Anas? He advised the people of Madinah to put forward Nāfiʿ the reciter in the mosque of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he advised Nāfiʿ not to accept. He was asked about that, and he said: I advised you to Nāfiʿ because I knew no one like him, and I advised him not to do it because he would gain enemies and enviers. Likewise, I advised you to him because I know no one like him, and I advised him not to do it because it is safer for his religion.
