Overview
Abu Bakr al-Shashi, Muhammad b. 'Ali b. Hamid — shaykh of the Shafi'is, author of the famous Tariqa and of lovely works; born 397, he read fiqh in his own land under Abu Bakr al-Sanji, taught a while at Ghazna then Herat and Nishapur, among the wittiest of his age. Nizam al-Mulk summoned him to Herat — the Ghaznis parted with him unwillingly — and he took the teaching of its Nizamiyya; he died in Shawwal 485. 1
