Overview
Sayf al-Din Ibn Qudama, the Hanbali hafiz — son of Shaykh al-Islam Muwaffaq al-Din Ibn Qudama; born at al-Jabal, he heard much from his grandfather and from Abu'l-Yumn al-Kindi, travelled and heard at Baghdad, wrote much in his hand and composed. 1
Al-Dhahabi's praise
Al-Dhahabi said he was "trustworthy, a hafiz, intelligent, alert, of a fine hand, working by the athar, commanding the right and speaking truth — had his life been long he would have led his contemporaries in knowledge and works"; he composed a large volume refuting the hafiz Muhammad b. Tahir al-Maqdisi's permission of sama'. 1
