Ibn al-Nakib's ijaza for Ibn Rajab, before 764

The traditionist Shihab al-Din Ibn al-Nakib (694-764) gave Ibn Rajab an ijaza, which must have been before the shaykh's death in 764, when Ibn Rajab was a young man in his twenties. ^{1 2}

Ibn Rajab collected ijazas from the shaykhs of his time while still young; the editor notes that 'Ibn al-Nakib and others gave him ijaza', and the Encyclopaedia of Islam names two licences: Ibn al-Nakib's and Sa'd al-Din al-Nawawi's. ^{2 1}
