§ 1441. ʿUbaid Allāh b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥusainī known as (al-mas̲h̲hūr bi-) Murs̲h̲id b. Aṣīl was presumably the son of S. Aṣīl al-Dīn ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥusainī (for whom see no. 229 supra). He tells us that he had long cherished the idea of waiting on the Ṣaḥābīs cited as authorities in the six collections, but that his intention could not be carried out until in S̲h̲aʿbān 884/1479 it won the approval of the Amīr Niẓām al-Daulah wa-’l-Dīn ʿAlī-S̲h̲īr (for whom see no. 1094 supra).
