Biographic comments

Great-grandfather of *Abbā Rāyā (2). He may possibly have been a disciple of Šayḫ Rāḍiyā: the colophon in TOSG00029, 25r - 25v him as "šayḫuhu", but Šayḫ Rāḍiyā is not otherwise identified, and even the reading of the name is not certain. In TOSG00009 (2r - 2v) Bušrā al-Qutaytī is said to be his šayḫ. He is possibly the father of Šayḫ Aḥmad Ādam (recipient of a letter in TOSG00030).
