His two shaykhs, Abū Yaʿlā Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar, from Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Sinjī al-Marwazī, from Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Maḥbūb, from Abū ʿĪsā al-Tirmidhī — excluding certain ḥadīths in the Book of Supplications and the Book of Virtues, along with Abū ʿĪsā's remarks at the end of the book, which were not included in Abū Yaʿlā's audition. At the beginning of each excluded ḥadīth there is a mark (sh) indicating [attribution to] the Shaykh, the Imām Abū al-Qāsim ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṭāhir al-Tamīmī al-Balkhī — he arrived in Baghdad as a pilgrim (and according to Ibn ʿAṭiyya: he arrived in Baghdad during my time there) — together with Abū ʿĪsā's remarks at the end of the book. He reported it to me from his shaykh Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Fārisī, from Abū al-Qāsim ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Khuzāʿī, from Abū Saʿīd al-Haytham ibn Kulayb al-Bukhārī, from Abū ʿĪsā al-Tirmidhī. Abū Yaʿlā said: The meaning of this mark — according to what I read to my shaykh Abū al-Qāsim — is that he was known as Ibn Shāhfūr, so I marked the ḥadīths with the shīn from this name.
