Imaam Abu Khaithama Zuhyar bin Harb An-Nasaa'ee  (160H – 234H) 

Imaam Abu Khaithama Zuhyar bin Harb An-Nasaa’ee, widely known as Abu Haitham, was one of the most esteemed Hadith scholars of early Islam. Born in 160H and passing away in 234H, he was celebrated for his exceptional memory, precision, and unwavering reliability in narrating the sayings of the Prophet ﷺ and the early scholars. His narrations were trusted by legendary scholars such as Al-Bukhaari and Muslim, with Muslim alone reporting over a thousand Hadith on his authority.

Among his notable contributions is Kitab al-‘Ilm (The Book of Knowledge), a treasured compilation of Hadith and scholarly advice emphasizing the pursuit of knowledge as a fundamental pillar of faith.
