Biography of the Author:
Imam Al Hafiz Abul Fadl Shihabuddin Ahmad Ibn Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Al Kinani Al Asqalani Ash Shafi'ee, best known as Al Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani. He was born on the 10th of Sha'baan in the year 773 A.H. in Egypt.
As was the custom of the scholars, he memorised the Qur'an at a very young age before going on to studying other subjects in the Islamic sciences and memorising key texts. He was most interested in the science of Hadith and so occupied himself with this by studying with the greatest scholars of his era, until he became a Hafiz of Hadith and Muhaddith in his own right.
He authored many books in various fields, most notably his compendious explanation of Sahih Al Bukhari, 'Fat-hul Bari', a work unsurpassed and utilised by every scholar of note to this day.
He died in the year 852 A.H. All who knew him, were well versed with his piety, good manners, vast knowledge and humility. May Allah shower him with his blessings.
