Al-Dhahabi's hadith journeys, c. 700/1300

Al-Dhahabi travelled in quest of hadith: he heard at Baalbek from Ibn Khulayk ibn Ulwan and Zaynab bint Umar ibn al-Kindi, at Mecca from al-Tuzari, at Aleppo from Shawkar al-Zayni, at Nablus from al-Imad ibn Badran, at Alexandria from Abu al-Hasan al-Iraqi and Yahya al-Sawwaf, and stayed longest at Cairo under Ibn Mansur al-Ifriqi and chiefly Taqi al-Din Ibn Daqiq al-Id — until his teachers passed 1,300, whose biographies he collected in his Mu'jam. Ibn Hajar notes he produced some thirty travel parts of his own.
