Al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Dhahabī described him by saying: The Imām, the scholar, the ḥāfiẓ, the verifier, Shaykh al-Islām. He was born in the year one hundred and eighty-one and five hundred [581 AH]. He compiled "al-Muʿjam" in one volume, and "al-Muwāfaqāt" in one volume, and abridged "Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim" and "Sunan Abī Dāwūd," and discussed their narrators, attributing [hadiths] to "al-Ṣaḥīḥayn" or one of them, or deeming them weak. He authored a large commentary on "al-Tanbīh" in jurisprudence, and composed "al-Arbaʿīn," and composed "al-Targhīb wa al-Tarhīb," and "al-Takmilah li-Wafayāt al-Nuqal," and other works. He studied the Qur'anic readings and the Arabic language. Al-Ḥāfiẓ ʿIzz al-Dīn al-Ḥusaynī said: He was knowledgeable of the sound and defective hadith, its defects and chains, deeply versed in understanding its rulings, meanings, and problematic aspects, proficient in its rare expressions, grammatical analysis, and variant wordings, an Imām and an authority. He died in the year fifty-six and six hundred [656 AH](1).
