Shah Wali-Allah, Rehmatullahi 'alayh, was born in northern India in 1703 in a learned family descended from the Prophet Muhammad, Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
As a young man, he studied the major hadith collections with his father, and then traveled to the Hijaz where he continued his studies with various eminent teachers, including Shaykh Abu Tahir al-Kurdi al-Madani through whom he transmits the hadiths in this collection.
