Of this generation was the judge Abū al-ʿAbbās Aḥmad ibn ʿĪsā al-Birtī. He transmitted the books from Abū Sulaymān al-Jūzjānī. One side of Baghdad was entrusted to him, and the other to Ismāʿīl ibn Isḥāq. Then, in al-Muʿtamid's reign, he requested release, returned his appointment document to them, stayed in his house, and devoted himself to worship until he died.
