Abū ‘Amr ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Abd il-Raḥmān Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn al-Kurdī al-Shahrazūrī (Arabic: أبو عمر عثمان بن عبد الرحمن صلاح الدين الكرديّ الشهرزوريّ) (c. 1181 CE/577 AH – 1245/643), commonly known as Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ, was a Kurdish[3] Shafi'i hadith specialist and the author of the seminal Introduction to the Science of Hadith.
[4] He studied in a number of cities, including: Baghdad, Hamedan, Naysabur, Merv, Aleppo, Damascus and Harran.
[4] Following the foundation of Dar al-Hadith Ashrafiyyah, he became its shaikh and was the first to teach and give verdicts there in the year 530 AH.
Whosoever engages in philosophy, has been blinded in his insight into the great aspects of the Sharia corroborated by evidences.
"[6] Due to his insistence no one was allowed to read the subjects of rhetoric or philosophy in Damascus, a matter which the leaders supported.
