al-Wasiti (Ibn al-Farghani)

Abu Bakr al-Wasiti — originally from Farghana in Khurasan, and known as Ibn al-Farghani — was among the earliest companions of al-Junayd and settled at Marw. Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah al-Wa'iz said: I heard Abu Bakr ibn Musa al-Farghani say: I have been afflicted with an age that has neither the manners of Islam, nor the ethics of the Jahiliyya, nor the ethics of men of honor. Al-Sulami said he died after 320. ¹
