Al-Daraqutni

'Ali b. 'Umar Abu'l-Hasan al-Daraqutni (306–385), Baghdad's hafiz, singular of his age: the science of transmitted reports, narrators' names and the hidden defects of hadith ended with him; al-Hakim said al-Daraqutni never saw his own like. As a youth at Isma'il al-Saffar's circle he was rebuked for copying while listening — and recited back eighteen dictated hadiths, isnads and texts in order. The Kitab al-'Ilal current under his name was taken down by al-Barqani from his dictation at Abu Mansur b. Hamdan's gatherings. He died Tuesday 7 Dhu'l-Qa'da 385, buried at Maqbarat Ma'ruf.
