`Abd al-Rahman ibn Kamal al-Din Abi Bakr, Jalal al-Din al-Misri
al-Suyuti al-Shafi`i al-Ash`ari, may Allah be pleased with him, also known as Ibn al-Asyuti (849-911),
the mujtahid imam and renewer of the tenth Islamic century,
foremost hadith master, jurist, Sufi, philologist, and historian, he
authored works in virtually every Islamic science.
Born to a
Turkish mother and non-Arab father and raised as an orphan in Cairo, he
memorized the Qur'an at eight, then several complete works of Sacred
Law, fundamentals of jurisprudence, and Arabic grammar; after which he
devoted himself to studying the Sacred Sciences under about a hundred
and fifty shaykhs. A giant among contemporaries, he remained alone,
producing a sustained output of scholarly writings until his death at
the age of sixty-two. He was buried in Hawsh Qawsun in Cairo.
