al-Shawkani

Muhammad ibn Ali al-Shawkani (1759–1834 CE), a mujtahid jurist, one of the scholars of Yemen, from Sana'a. ²

Among his books are "Nayl al-Awtar min Asrar Muntaqa al-Akhbar", in eight volumes, and "al-Fawa'id al-Majmu'a fi al-Ahadith al-Mawdu'a". ²

The dates of birth and death come from "al-A'lam" alone, and so need an additional source.
