A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF IBN RAJAB

The following biography is an adapted version of the biography provided by ‘Imaad Ibn Saabir

Al-Mirsee in his checking of Ibn Rajab's book Adh-Dhull wal-Inkisaar Lil-‘Azeez-il-Jabbaar .

He has researched and compiled this biography using nine sources of reference that contain Ibn

Rajab’s biography.

His name and lineage:

He is the Imaam, the Haafidh Zayn-ud-Deen ‘Abd-ur-Rahmaan Ibn Ahmad Ibn ‘Abd-ir-

Rahmaan Ibn Rajab Ibn Al-Husain Ibn Abeel-Barakaat Mas’ood As-Salaamee Al-Baghdaadee,

who then became Ad-Dimashqee Al-Hanbalee, better known as Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbalee. Rajab

was the nickname of his grandfather, ‘Abd-ur-Rahmaan. It is also held that it was a nickname

given to him because of his being born in the month of Rajab. Ibn Rajab became famous and

well known by that name, may Allaah have mercy on him.

His birth:

He was born in Baghdaad in the year 736H according to the most correct opinion found in the

discussions presented by those who recorded his biography.

His early youth and his search for knowledge:

Allaah prepared for Ibn Rajab an environment of firm knowledge. His way of life based on

acquiring knowledge and producing actions was established for him since his early youth.

Because of this, the Haafidh gained much benefit from that. He himself explains that he

received the authorization and religious approval from some of the major scholars (of his time)

during his youth.

This indicates the degree of zeal and aspiration his family and especially his father – who was

from the major scholars of his time – had towards acquiring knowledge. He studied at the hands

of many different shaikhs such that some researchers of his biography have counted them to

number close to forty.

His teachers:

The checker of Ibn Rajab’s book Sharh ‘Ilal At-Tirmidhee has counted Ibn Rajab’s teachers to

be thirty-six. However, he did not add to that, his father or Ibn An-Naqeeb or An-Nawawee

(Ahmad Ibn ‘Abd-il-Mu’min). So with this, the number of his teachers reaches close to forty as

we have stated previously.
