Summary
Amr ibn Uthman (may God be pleased with him) al-Makki, one of the Sufi shaykhs of the third century. He heard from Yunus ibn Abd al-Ala and al-Rabiʿ ibn Sulayman, and Jaʿfar al-Khuldi related from him. 1.
When he was appointed judge of Jeddah, al-Junayd cut off relations with him and said: "I will not speak to one who used to show asceticism and then was seen to expand his pursuit of worldly wealth." 1.
He died in Baghdad in the year 297 AH; it is also said 291 AH, but the first date is more sound. 1.
