Summary
The hafiz Taqi al-Din Abu'l-Tahir Isma'il b. 'Abdallah b. 'Abd al-Muhsin al-Misri al-Shafi'i, known as Ibn al-Anmati; 'Umar b. al-Hajib said he was an imam, trustworthy, a distinguished hafiz of wide transmission with fiqh, adab, poetry and the history of men. 1
His pursuit
Ibn al-Bukhari said: born 570, he worked from boyhood, studied fiqh, taught adab, heard much, came to Damascus in 593, made the hajj in 601 and came with the caravan — a man of ample resolve, diligence, complete knowledge, memory, eloquence, quick understanding and command of verse and prose, matchless in his time. 1
