About The Author

Al-Dhahabi said in Tadhkirat al-Huffaz:

Al-Dhahabi said in Tadhkirat al-Huffaz: “[He was] the erudite hafiẓ and author Abu Sulayman, the muhaddith of Damascus and the son of its judge. Ibn Zabr said, 'Abu Ja'far al-Tahawi reviewed some of the work I authored, and he became impressed. He said to me, ‘O Abu Sulayman, those of your ilk (i.e. the hadith scholars) are the chemists and those of our ilk (i.e. the fiqh scholars) are the doctors.’’”

Al-Kattanī said: “Many narrated from him and he dictated in the Jami' Masjid. He was a thiqah narrator, noble and dependable. He authored a book entitled al-Wafiyat which was famous on the tongues. Abu Nasr ibn al-Jabban related that Ibn Zabr told him that he saw Allah, the Exalted, during his sleep and he mentioned that he saw just a light.”

'Abd al-Hay ibn al-'Amad al-Hanbali said in Shadharat al-Dhahab: “The deaths of 379h: From them was Abu Sulayman ibn Zabr, he was a muḥaddith, a hafiz, a thiqah narrator and a highly revered individual. He authored a number of beneficial works.”
