Abū ‘Abdillāh Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad

ibn al-Ḥasan al-Baghdādī—

may Allah exalt his rank, be pleased with him,

sanctify his soul, and satisfy him through Muḥammad and his Family.

Another manuscript identifies him as:

The illustrious Shaykh

Muḥammad ibn Muqātil al-Qaṭī‘ī.

His teacher was: Shaykh Abū al-Fatḥ Muḥammad ibn

al-Ḥasan ibn Muqātil al-Baghdādī, the judge

known as al-Qaṭī‘ī, named after a district in Baghdad

within al-Karkh known as Qaṭī‘at al-Rabī‘.
