The Author : 


He is Imam Abu Fadl Sihab al-Din Ahmad ibn Ali al-Asqalani, rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alayhi. He was born in Cairo in the month of Shaban 773h and was famously known as Ibn Hajar after one of his ancestors. He is arguably the most revered hadith scholar of the Mamluk period.


The Imam Dhahabi of his time and the Amir al-Muminin of the hadith scholars. Shaykh al-Islam Imam al-Suyuti, rahimaullah, says that he drank from the well of Zamzam and prayed to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, to give him more knowledge than Imam Shams ad-Din adh-Dhahabi.


He is the author of over 300 books some going into lengthy volumes. He passed away on Friday 28 Dhi' al-Hijjah [852 hijri] and was laid to rest in al-Qarrafa, Cairo, now famously known as the City of the Dead (madinat al-mawta).
