Summary
Shams al-Din al-Kalabadhi, imam, hafiz, inheritance-law specialist of Bukhara, Hanafi and sufi. He was an imam in the shares and a composer on them, heard much hadith in Khurasan, Iraq, Syria and Egypt, wrote much in his elegant, exact hand and endowed his parts. Fearing the famine he went with the Tatars, settled at Mardin for some months, and his appointed end found him there. Al-Dhahabi said: he was righteous, devout, a Sunni. 1
