al-Mubarak ibn Kamil al-Tughri

Al-Mubarak ibn Kamil al-Tughri of Baghdad, Hanbali muhaddith, Abu Bakr, "the useful one of Iraq"; born Thursday 12 Dhu'l-Hijja 495, he read the Qur'an in the canonical readings and heard much hadith — his first audition in 506 — and devoted himself to the field, hearing from Abu'l-Qasim ibn Bayan, Ibn Nabhat and others. ²

Ibn al-Jawzi said: he kept hearing the lofty and the low, tracking the shaykhs in the transmissions and carrying audition notes — "had it been said he heard from three thousand shaykhs it would not be far"; he sat with the huffaz, wrote much in his own hand, and the knowledge of the shaykhs and what they heard and the licences ended with him — though he was lax in verifying what he transmitted of auditions because he took payment for it, being poor with many children; he was truthful and left the book Salwat al-ahzan in some three hundred parts; he died on Friday 19 Jumada al-Ula. ²
