He is ‘Ali ibn ‘Abd al-Kafi ibn ‘Ali ibn Tamam, Abu al-Hasan Taqi al-Din al-Subki, was born in Subk, Egypt, in 683h/1284
C.E.
Imam Taqi al-Din al-Subki, belongs to a large family of al-Subkis, whose members
during the seventh and eighth century A.H. made themselves renowned, not
only for their learning, high positions as
qadis,
jurisconsultants, professors, preachers, and writers, but also for their
high personal qualities. As the family name al-Subki, shows the family
of these times came from one of the two villages
Subk in lower Egypt, namely the
Subk in the province of
Sharkiyya.
The family, however, carried its pedigree back to the time of the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and claimed to be descendants of the tribe of
Khazraj, or one of the two dominating tribes of the old city of
Yathrib, the later Madinah, who became the followers, supporters, and champions of [the Prophet] Muhammad,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Hence the members of the
Subki family call themselves al-Khazraji.
Salah al-Din Safadi said of him,
“People say that no one like him had appeared since
Al-Ghazali, though in my opinion they thereby do him an
injustice, for to my mind he does not resemble anyone
less than Sufyan al-Thawri.”
Al-Subki was educated in Cairo by such scholars as Ibn Rif’a in Sacred Law, ‘Alam al-Din Iraqi in Qur'anic
tafsir (exegesis), and Sharaf al-Din al-Dimyati in
hadith, he also travelled to acquire knowledge of
hadith from the shaykhs of Syria, Alexandria, and the
Hijaz.
In 739h he moved from Cairo to Damascus, where he was appointed to the
judiciary and presided for seventeen years. Towards the end of which he
became ill, was replaced by his son Taj al-Din, and returned to Cairo.
He passed away twenty days later in 756h/1355
C.E.
