Abu Abdallah al-Baridi

Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Baridi, the eldest of the Baridi brothers. He was among the special men of Ahwaz, and his brother Abu Yusuf was over Sari when Ali ibn Isa became vizier. ¹

When Ibn Muqla became vizier, his brother Abu al-Husayn gave him twenty thousand dinars, and he appointed Abu Abd Allah over all of Ahwaz except Sus and Jundaysabur. ¹

Ibn al-Athir mentions a dispute over the vocalisation of the nisba: Ibn Makula vowelled it with a "ba" as derived from the post (al-barid), and Ibn Miskawayh with a "ya". ¹
