Overview
Abu Bakr al-Khabbaz al-Isbahani, mentioned by Ibn al-Athir in the events of 318 AH, as the cause of the release of the sons of Ahmad ibn Isma'il al-Samani from the citadel of Bukhara. 2
His story
The office of the sons of Ahmad ibn Isma'il used to be brought to them from him. He worked on their behalf with a group of the troops, showed the gatekeeper piety and religion, and gave him five dinars to open the gate, and he released them in 318 AH. 2
Ibn al-Athir says that whenever al-Sa'id Nasr ibn Ahmad was mentioned he made a remark at which people laughed. 2
What is not covered here: his birth, death and lineage. A second source is needed.
