Abd al-Qahir al-Baghdadi reaches Nishapur with his father Tahir, c. 390/1000

Abd al-Qahir ibn Tahir ibn Muhammad al-Tamimi, Abu Mansur, was born and raised in Baghdad, then travelled with his father Abu Abdallah Tahir to Khurasan and settled at Nishapur; the father was a man of wealth and honour, and the son spent it on the people of learning and hadith without earning money by his own scholarship; the date is approximate, before his studies under Abu Ishaq al-Isfarayini who died in 418.
