The muḥaddith , the pious ascetic. He heard Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī from Abū Muḥammad ibn al-Bukhārī. His memory was sharp, though his handwriting was poor. I asked our teacher, Ibn Taymiyyah, about him: “A truthful man,” he said, “but quick to tears in prayer.” Al-Maqdisī died on a Friday, with the Qur’ān on his lips. May God have mercy on him. The Siyar is a time machine . It doesn’t flatten history into heroic legends or simple villainy. You see scholars arguing, rulers fearing for their thrones, ascetics weeping in mosques—and al-Dhahabī himself, judging them all from his study in Damascus, seven centuries ago. For anyone wanting to understand how classical Muslim scholars thought about fame, piety, and credibility, this book is the ultimate key. If you want to access a public domain or scholarly edition (e.g., the 25-volume Mu’assasat al-Risāla edition), check academic libraries, platforms like Archive.org for scanned older prints, or open-access Islamic studies repositories. Avoid illegal PDFs; instead, look for partial previews on Google Books or purchase a volume through a university press.
I notice your request seems to contain a mix of terms: “Siyar A 39-lam An-nubala” likely refers to a volume of the famous biographical encyclopedia Siyar A‘lām al-Nubalā’ (سير أعلام النبلاء) by Imam al-Dhahabī. “A 39-lam” may be a typo or reference to a specific section (possibly volume 39, or a page/line reference).
