Overview
Taqi al-Din Ibn Qindas al-Ba'li the Hanbali Ansari, imam, Qur'an-teacher and philologist; born in 772 at the village of Ba'li in the Salihiyya, he taught at the cemetery his father built, then moved to Damascus and took fiqh from 'Ala' al-Din Ibn Muflih, Qutb al-Din Ibn al-Hamdhani and Majd al-Din Ibn Qadi Shuhba, attached himself to Judge Nur Ja'far and Abu Bakr ibn al-Maydami until he excelled, then travelled to Alexandria and Egypt, made hajj with his cousin in 798 and received Ibn Ruslan al-Misri's transmission of his book al-Zubad. 2
Final years
Jurists studied under him; in Rajab 745 he taught 'Ajala with many transmissions, and he had a hand in inheritance law, grammar, Sufism and hadith — though Taqi al-Din Abu'l-Sadaq called him a man of cold temperament and sluggishness despite his sharpness. He died at Damascus on 'Ashura, 862. 2
