"Are you the hadith master Abu Bakr?"

Ad-Dhahabi wrote in his Siyar A'lam An-Nubala:

وعن سعيد المؤدب قال : قلت لأبي بكر الخطيب عند قدومي : أنت الحافظ أبو بكر ؟ قال : انتهى الحفظ إلى الدارقطني . قال ابن الآبنوسي : كان الحافظ الخطيب يمشي وفي يده جزء يطالعه

ENGLISH:

Sa'ied al-Mu’addib asked al-Khatib: "Are you the hadith master Abu Bakr?" He replied: "Hadith mastership ended with Al-Daraqutni". Ibn Al-Abanusi said: Al-Hafidh Al-Khateeb (Al-Baghdadi) used to be walking, and in his hand he would have a book which he would study on his way".

NEDERLANDS:

Sa'ied al-Mu'addib vroeg aan al-Khatib: "Bent u de bekwame hadith kenner Abu Bakr?" Hij zei: "Bekwaamheid in ahadith eindigde met Al-Daraqutni". Ibn Al-Abanusi zei: Al-Hafidh Al-Khateeb (Al-Baghdadi) zou lopen, en in zijn hand zou hij een boek hebben waaruit hij onderweg zou studeren".
