Al-Qasim ibn 'Uthman al-Ju'i 'alayhi al-rahmah wal-ridwan (d.248H / 862CE)
One of the great saints of Damascus who took hadith from Sufyan ibn 'Uyayna. Ibn al-Jawzi relates in 'Sifat al-safwa' that al-Ju'i explained that he got the name al-Ju'i ('of the hunger') because Allah had strengthened him against physical hunger by means of spiritual hunger. He said:
Even if I were left one month without food I would not care. O' Allah, you have done this with me: Therefore complete it for me!
SHAMS AL-DIN AL-DHAHABI writes about him in 'Siyar a'lam al-nubala':
