Abu Bakr Abdallah b. Ahmad al-Marwazi, 'al-Qaffal al-Saghir' — head of Khurasan's Shafi'is, called 'the Locksmith' because he had practised the craft in his youth and once made a lock and key weighing four grains; feeling his own intelligence at thirty he turned to scholarship. The more-cited Qaffal of the fiqh books, he died in 417 ¹.
