Al-Sakhawi joins Ibn Hajar's dictation circle, 846/1442 until the master's death

السخاوي يلازم إملاء ابن حجر مع الجماعة من ٨٤٦هـ حتى وفاته

c. 1442 CE · 846 AH

Cairo

From 846/1442 al-Sakhawi wrote down what Ibn Hajar dictated 'with the company', continuing until the shaykh's death; his father's house adjoined Ibn Hajar's, so he missed almost nothing that was read to him and became one of his most assiduous transmitters 1.
