al-Qati'i al-Azji (d. 634) — Hanbali historian of Baghdad, last to transmit Sahih al-Bukhari from Abu al-Waqt, and Ibn al-Jawzi's long companion; his five-volume Durrat al-Iklil continued Ibn al-Sam'ani's history — rich in benefits, said its critics, even while plagiarized by them 1.

Overview

Al-Qati'i al-Azji, the Hanbali historian; he heard from his father and from Abu'l-Waqt the Sahih al-Bukhari — being the last to transmit it from him — and kept to Ibn al-Jawzi a while, took from him and read many of his works and transmissions on him. 1

His history

He compiled a history in about five volumes continuing Ibn al-Sam'ani's, calling it Durrat al-iklil fi tatimmat al-tadhyil — rich in benefits though with errors; Ibn al-Najjar disparaged it excessively though he had taken and transmitted from it; several hafizes described him as a memoriser. 1
