Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, Abu Bakr, the blind al-Maydani (from Maydan in Nishapur). al-Dhahabi calls him one of the imams of the Hanafis, and al-Lucknawi says he was a great shaykh who knew the school as few did. He narrated from Abu Muhammad al-Muzani, and Maymun ibn Ali al-Maymuni narrated from him; he held disputations with Ahmad ibn Nasr al-Ayyashi, brother of Abu Bakr al-Ayyashi. ^{1 2}
