It is reported that the Messenger of Allah stated, “There will continue to be a group of my nation who prevails upon the truth, and they will not be harmed by those who forsake them.” Al-Imam Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal said in regards to this statement, “If they are not the ḥadīth adherents then I do not know who they are!”
Al-Ḥafiz Ibn Ḥajar said, “Rare is the science from the sciences of al-ḥadith on which al-Khaṭīb did not author an independent book upon. Indeed, it is as al-Ḥafiẓ Abu Bakr ibn Nuqṭah said, ‘Every objective person knows that the ḥadīth masters after al-Khaṭīb are dependent upon his books.” Mulla ʿAlī al-Qari expanded upon this, “This is akin to the statement of al-Shafiʿi, ‘All are dependent upon Abi Ḥanifah in jurisprudence.” [Sharḥ Sharḥ Nukhbati ‘l-Fikar (139-141)]
Al-Khaṭib said, “I will mention in this book of mine, by the will of Allah, that which was narrated from the Messenger of Allah which encourages reporting from him, and the virtue of transmitting what was heard from him, and also that which was narrated from the Companions and their followers, and from the scholars who succeeded them, pertaining to the honour of the ḥadith adherents and their virtue, high status and nobility, their mentioned merits, and transmitted characteristics.”
Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn 'Ali ibn Thabit ibn Ahmad ibn Mahdi al-Shafi'i, famous as al-Khatib al-Baghdadi was born in 392 A.H in Hanikiya, a village south of Baghdad.
He was a member of the Hanbali school of Fiqh but moved across to the Shafi'i school Based on his theological opinions.
Ibn Hajr said of Al-Baghdadi admiringly; “Every objective person knows that the scholars of hadiths coming after al-Khatib are indebted to his works".
