From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hafiz 'Abdulrahim bin al-Husain bin 'Abdulrahman al-Misri (1325 - 1403), popularly known as Hafiz al-Iraqi, was a well known Shafi'i scholar of Islam. His most famous works, the two takhreej (identifications) titled Al-Mughnee 'an-hamlil-Asfar fil-Asfar fee takhrej maa fil-lhyaa minal-Akhbar (Identification of the Hadith in "The Revival"), were completed over the course of 13 years as verification of the hadith’s reported in al-Ghazali‘s Ihya Ulum al-Din. One large book was completed in 1350 and a shorter book in 1359 as an abridgement and follow up for some hadith he searched out for nine years. This smaller work is printed in many margin in editions of Ghazali, proving that there not a single false hadith in Ghazali’s work. Hafiz died in 1403 at the age of 78.
