Of this generation was Abū Sahl al-Zajjājī, author of Kitāb al-Riyāḍa. He studied under Abū al-Ḥasan al-Karkhī, returned to Nishapur, and died there. I heard al-Ṣāḥib Abū al-Qāsim Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbbād say, “When Abū Sahl al-Zajjājī entered debating assemblies, the faces of his opponents changed because of his force of mind and skill in argument.” I have heard that Abū Bakr al-Rāzī, God have mercy on him, studied under him.
