Ḍiyāʼ al-Dīn Abu ʻAbdallah Muhammad ibn ʻAbd al-Wahid al-Saʻdi al-Maqdisi al-Hanbali[3] (Arabic: Thiyaa Al-Diin Al-Maqdisi ضياء الدين المقدسي) (569–643 AH/1173-1245 AD) was a Hanbali Islamic scholar.
Biography[]
Diya' al-Din was born in Damascus in 1173. His parents had emigrated from Nablus in the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem shortly before his birth, along with 155 of other Hanbali inhabitants of the area, in response to perceived threats against their shaykhs from the crusader lord of Nablus, Baldwin of Ibelin.[4] Al-Dhahabi described him as the Sheikh of hadith scholars. He recorded Maqdisi's death in the year 1245 C.E., 643 A.H.[5]
He was a relative of Abd al-Ghani al-Maqdisi, as his grandmother and Abd al-Ghani al-Maqdisi's mother were sisters, while Ibn Qudamah was his maternal uncle.[6]
