Summary
Abu al-Tayyib Muhammad, called Shams al-Haqq, b. Amir b. 'Ali b. Haydar al-Siddiqi al-'Azimabadi — as he names himself in the preface to al-Ta'liq al-Mughni 'ala al-Daraqutni. 1
Teachers and chains
He says he read part of al-Daraqutni's Sunan with Sayyid Muhammad Nadhir Husayn al-Dihlawi, whom he calls "the head of the hadith scholars of his age", who licensed him for the whole book; Nadhir Husayn transmitted it from Muhammad Ishaq al-Dihlawi, from 'Abd al-'Aziz b. Wali Allah, from his father Wali Allah al-Dihlawi. 3 He also read portions of it with the judge Husayn b. Muhsin al-Ansari al-Yamani, who licensed him for all of it; Husayn b. Muhsin transmitted it from teachers including Ahmad b. Muhammad b. 'Ali al-Shawkani. 4
Method
He describes his notes as criticism of some of the Sunan's hadiths, explanation of their defects and clarification of some points, briefly, drawn from the books of the discipline. 1 He defends al-Daraqutni against al-'Ayni's weakening of him. 5
Not covered here: his dates of birth and death, which do not appear in the pages read.
