7 – al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Dimashqī (d. 842 AH):
He said (1): “The shaykh, the imam, the erudite scholar and master memorizer, the critic, a man of many disciplines, the mainstay of the hadith scholars, the consummate editor.”
He also said: “He recited the Magnificent Qur’an in its various transmissions and heard an untold number of narrations … He kept the company of the hadith masters and scholars, devoted himself to hadith in all its branches, to identifying its narrators and hidden flaws. He studied jurisprudence and issued legal opinions, taught, collected, authored, wrote copiously, produced works, and dedicated himself to benefiting others and engaging in numerous fields of knowledge … He was an imam in sciences such as exegesis, Qur’anic readings, hadith, legal theory, jurisprudence, and the Arabic language.”

His writings:
Despite his short life, Ibn ʿAbd al-Hādī is counted among the prolific scholars, for his works exceeded seventy titles. This prompted ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-Hādī al-Maqdisī, the author’s brother, to compile a book listing the writings of his brother Shams al-Dīn (2).
Those who penned his biographies took care to enumerate his works, and the two most important lists are probably that of Ibn Rajab in Dhayl Ṭabaqāt al-Ḥanābila and that of Ibn Qāḍī Shuhba in his Tārīkh. We shall mention here the works that have been printed, along with their publication details or
