Abū Abdullāh Badr ad-Dīn Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Bahādir az-Zarkashī (1344–1392/ 745–794 AH), better known as Az-Zarkashī, was a fourteenth century Islamic scholar. He primarily resided in Mamluk-era Cairo. He specialized in the fields of law, hadith, history and Shafi'i legal jurisprudence (fiqh).[1] He left behind thirty compendia, but the majority of these are lost to modern researchers and only the titles are known.[2] One of his most famous works that has survived is al-Burhan fee 'Uloom al-Qur'an, a manual of the Qur'anic sciences.
Teachers
Az-Zarkashī studied hadīth (one of various reports describing the words, actions, or habits of the prophet Muhammad) in Damascus with Imād al-Dīn Ibn Kathir (d. 1373), fiqh and usūl in Aleppo with Shihāb ud-Dīn Al-Adhra`I (d. 1381), and Quran and fiqh in Cairo with the head of the Shafi’i school in Cairo at the time, Jamāl al-Dīn al-Asnawi.[3]
Disciples
His notable students included Shamsuddīn al-Barmaid (d. 830 AH) and Najmuddin bin Haji ad-Dimasyqi (d. 831 AH).
