Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani was born in Cairo in 773 AH into a family that had come from Ascalon, lost both parents as a child and became the greatest hadith master of his age. He served many times as chief judge of Egypt and wrote Fath al-Bari, his commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, among more than a hundred works. He passed away in 852 AH. His tomb stands in the Qarafa south of Imam al-Shafi'i and was recently restored.
