Abū al-Qāsim Masʿūd ibn Muḥammad

After Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī al-Rāzī's death, our shaykh and imam Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī became the imam, teacher, and mufti of Abū Ḥanīfa's companions. People had seen no one like him in the excellence and accuracy of his legal opinions and the quality of his teaching. He was called to accept judicial office repeatedly and refused. He was revered in people's minds and foremost with the ruler and the public. He scarcely accepted any benefaction, payment, or gift from anyone. He died on the night preceding Friday, the eighteenth of Jumādā I, 403. I undertook his washing and preparation with a group of his companions. His son Abū al-Qāsim Masʿūd ibn Muḥammad prayed over him in al-Manṣūr's congregational mosque before Friday prayer. He was returned to his house in Darb ʿAbda and buried there. God be pleased with him, benefit him through what he taught us, and benefit us through it.
