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 who resided in Mamluk-era Cairo and specialized in the fields of law, hadith, history and Shafi'i legal jurisprudence (fiqh).[1] Of Turkish heritage, he was born in Cairo, Egypt and travelled throughout the Muslim world in search of knowledge, primarily in the cities of Aleppo and Damascus, Syria. He left behind no less than thirty compendiums, but the majority of these are lost to modern researchers and only the titles were known.[2]
Teachers
He studied hadīth (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) in Damascus with Imād al-Dīn Ibn Kathir (d. 1373), fiqh and usūl[disambiguation needed] 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 (d. 1370).[3]
His disciples
Two of his more well-known students included Shamsuddīn al-Barmadi (d. 830 AH) and Najmuddin bin Haji ad-Dimasyqi (d. 831 AH).
