Husayn b. Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. Dāwud. His kunyah was Abū ʿAbdillāh al-Nīʿ. He heard ḥadith from Ibn Shāhin, Ibn Ḥaywayh, and Dārikutnī. He was a ṣiqah (trustworthy person), reliable and renowned for doing good. He performed charitable deeds, sought out the poor, and gave them abundant ṣadaqah (alms). He was asked to bear witness, but he declined. Every month he spent ten dinars on his own family members.
