'Abd al-Qawi Zaki al-Din al-Mundhiri (Шаблон:Lang-ar-at), commonly known as Al-Mundhiri was a classical Islamic Sunni scholar, Shafi'i jurist, hadith specialist, historian, the muhaqqiq (researcher), and an expert in the Arabic language.[1] He is regarded in his time as the greatest scholar of hadith.[2]

Biography

Al-Mundhiri was of Syrian origin but was born in Fustat, Egypt in the year of the 1st Sha'ban 581 corresponding to 28 October 1185.

From the Events of His Life

In Egypt, he used to issue Fatawa (religious verdicts). He then stopped passing such judgements. He refused to make a religious determination for a bizarre reason, which reveals to us his justice, the softness of his soul, and his ability to identify virtue in those who possess it. Taj al-Din al-Subki hinted at this and said: "I heard my father (Taqi al-Din al-Subki) saying that Ash-Shaikh Izz al-Din ibn 'Abd al-Salam used to teach Ahadith for a short period in Damascus. Then, when he entered Cairo, he gave up teaching and began attending the gathering of Ash-Shaikh Zakiuddin Al-Mundhiri. He would sit in Al-Mundhiri's lessons and listen to him amongst the ordinary group of listeners and he would not teach anything. Ash-Shaikh Zakiuddin Al-Mundhiri also gave up giving religious verdicts during this time. He said: "Wherever Ash-Shaikh `Izzuddin enters (i.e., a town, city or land), then the people there have no need of me!"[7][8]

Reception

Izz al-Din ibn 'Abd al-Salam said: "Our Shaikh, Zakiuddin had no equal in the Science of Hadith with all of its various branches. He was an `Ilim (extremely knowledgeable) concerning the authentic Ahadith, the unauthentic Ahadith, the defective Ahadith and their routes of transmission. He was extremely well-versed in his knowledge of the Hadith reporters, their disparagement and their integrity (JarhwaTa'dil), their deaths, their births and their life events. He was a leader, steadfast and extremely pious. He was firm in whatever he said, and certain concerning whatever he reported."[7]

Al-Dhahabi said: "There was no one in his time who had memorized more (Ahadith) than him."[7]
