Al-Daraqutni journeys to al-Sham and Egypt and composes the Musnad for Ibn Hinzaba, about 350/961

In middle age al-Daraqutni journeyed to al-Sham and Egypt, hearing the qadi Abu al-Tahir al-Dhuhli and that generation. The vizier Ja'far ibn al-Furat Ibn Hinzaba was dictating hadith in Egypt; al-Daraqutni went out to him, stayed with him a while and composed for him the Musnad, gained much wealth from his side, and transmitted reports from him in Kitab al-Madih.
