Summary
Al-Qushayri made the Pilgrimage in the company of Abu Muhammad al-Juwayni — father of Imam al-Haramayn — and other eminent Shafi'is, hearing hadith at Baghdad and in the Hijaz on that journey; probably after his return to Nishapur he held his first majalis al-imla', the hadith dictation sessions, in 437/1046, the year his own madrasa is recorded 1 2.
