وهو (جد والد أبي القاسم أحمد بن عبد الودود بن علي بن سمجون الهلالي الأندلسي الشاعر)، المحدث، مات سنة 608، ترجمته في كتاب الصلة لابن بشكوال، وقد ذكرناه في (س م ج) على أن النون زائدة، فإن كانت اللفظة أعجمية معرب سيم كون فمحله هنا ولعله راعى المصنف لذلك.
And he is (the grandfather of the father of Abu al-Qasim Ahmad ibn Abd al-Walud ibn Ali ibn Samjun al-Hilali al-Andalusi, the poet), the traditionist, who died in the year 608. His biography is in the book al-Silah by Ibn Bishkuwal, and we have mentioned him under (s-m-j) considering the noon as extra. If the word is foreign, Arabized from 'Sim Kun', then its place is here, and perhaps the author considered this.
