الحافظ أبو الفضل السليماني و منهجه في الجرح و التعديل وائل بن فواز دخيل.

Abstract EN

Al-Hafiz Abu Al-Fadl Al-Suleimani is one of the leading scholars of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil, who lived in the fourth and fifth century AH.

He has many books of which nothing has reached to us.

He speaks of the narrators in terms of accreditation and discreditation, justice and perfection.

Learned scholars have transmitted from him and considered him one of the reliable scholars in this art as the two Hafidhs: Al-Dhahabi and Ibn Hajar did.

Although, he is inclined towards sternness in his approach - may Allah forgive him.

He might have been harsh to some narrators but the two Hafidhs rejoined to him.

Nevertheless, he remains an authority, where we can easily get rare information on the biography of some narrators.

He pays special attention to the biography of narrators from Bukhara region and its environs.

And according to what has been widely reported to us, he is fond of using the term “He Requires Reconsideration” which has multiple indications.

He also accused many narrators of fabrication.
