Information About

Al-tirmidhi





BIOAGRAPHY

He wrote the '' Sunan Al-Tirmidhi '', one of the six canonical hadith compilations used in Sunni Islam . He was born (and would die) at Bugh , a suburb of Termez (Arabic ''at-Tirmidh''), to a family of the widespread BanūSulaym tribe. Starting at the age of twenty, he travelled widely, to Kufa , Basra and the Hijaz , seeking out knowledge from, among others, Qutaiba Ibn Said , Bukhari , Imam Muslim and Abu Dawud .

Tirmidhī was blind in the last two years of his life.


WORKS

Tirmidhī wrote nine books, of which, after the ''Jami'', ''al-Ilal'' is best-known; only four of his works survive. He played a major part in giving the formerly vague terminology used in classifying hadith according to their reliability a more precise set of definitions.
