The biography of Imam Aboo Dawood Sijistani

This book is the biography of Imam Aboo Dau'd Sijistani, the compiler of Sunan Abu Dawud, one of the six major books of hadeeth that are a primary source of knowledge about Islam. In compiling his biography I tried to keep it from being so long as to be boring but not so short as to be uninformative. I mentioned the reports with their sources, but I tried to avoid referencing every report in order to avoid burdening the reader with lengthy footnotes. I did not attempt to examine the chains of transmission for these reports, for I relied upon the judgment of the major hadeeth scholars, such as Dhahabee, who saw the reports fit enough to mention in their works. I avoided reports that major critically minded scholars criticized or declared unreliable. And it is Allah Whose help is sought.
