Parallel reading

شنبك، كجعفر أهمله الجماعة، وهو: والد عبد الله، وجد عثمان بن أحمد الدينوريين الأخير حدث عن الحسن بن محمد الداركي.

Shambak, like Ja'far, was neglected by the community, and he is: the father of Abdullah, and the grandfather of the latter al-Dinawari, who narrated from al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Darakī.

وأيضا: جد عبد الله بن أحمد النهاوندي: المحدثين هكذا في سائر النسخ، والصواب في هذا السياق شنبك: جد عثمان بن أحمد الدينوري وجد عبد الله بن أحمد النهاوندي المحدثين، كما هو نص الحافظين الذهبي وابن حجر، وقوله: والد عبد الله غلط، ولعله رآه في بعض الكتب حدثنا عبد الله بن شنبك، وهو النهاوندي بعينه، وإنما نسبه إلى جده، فظنه المصنف رجلا ثالثا، وهما اثنان لا غير، فتأمل.

And also: the grandfather of Abdullah ibn Ahmad al-Nihawandi: the traditionists, thus in all copies. The correct reading in this context is Shambak: the grandfather of Uthman ibn Ahmad al-Dinawari and the grandfather of Abdullah ibn Ahmad al-Nihawandi the traditionists, as is the text of the two Hafizes al-Dhahabi and Ibn Hajar. And his statement: 'father of Abdullah' is a mistake, and perhaps he saw in some books 'Abdullah ibn Shambak narrated to us,' who is al-Nihawandi himself. He only attributed him to his grandfather, so the author thought him to be a third person, whereas they are only two, so ponder.

ومما يستدرك عليه: القطب أبو عبد الله محمد بن شنبك الشنبكي: أحد مشايخ منصور البطائحي، أخذ عن أبي بكر بن هوار البطائحي.

And among what is to be added: al-Qutb Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Shambak al-Shambaki: one of the shaykhs of Mansur al-Batta'ihi, who took from Abu Bakr ibn Hawar al-Batta'ihi.

وممن نسب إليه كذلك الشيخ كمال الدين يونس بن التاج محمد بن العز نصر الشنبكي الحويزي أحد شيوخ أبي الفتوح الطاوسي.

And among those attributed to him likewise is Shaykh Kamal al-Din Yunus ibn al-Taj Muhammad ibn al-Izz Nasr al-Shambaki al-Huwayzi, one of the shaykhs of Abu al-Futuḥ al-Ṭāwūsī.
