Overview
Abu al-Na'im Abu al-Rida Radwan ibn Abd Allah al-Junawi al-Fasi. The author of "Mawsu'at a'lam al-ulama wa al-udaba" counts him among the hadith memorisers and transmitters in Fez, and among the scholars of the Maghrib in the tenth century AH. 1
The encyclopedia says he was born around 1505 CE (912 AH) and died around 1583 CE (991 AH). 1 These two dates come from a single source and need an additional source.
