Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl b. Muḥammad

His kunyah was Abū ʿAlī al-Tarsūsī. Since he resided for a long time in Iraq, he was called al-ʿIrāqī. He heard ḥadīth from Abū Ṭāhir al-Muḥliṣ. After Abū Muḥammad al-Bāqī, he learned fiqh from Abū Ḥāmid al-Isfarāynī. He served as the qāḍī of Tarsus. He was among the virtuous and faqīh scholars who could be pointed out with the finger.
