Muhammad ibn Yazid Ibn Majah al-Qazwini

Ibn Majah was born in 824 CE in Qazwin, in present-day Iran, to a family affiliated with the Rabīʻah tribe. He travelled extensively across the Islamic world, including Iraq, Makkah, the Levant, and Egypt, to collect hadith. He studied under prominent scholars such as Ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Ya'la al-Khalili praised him as reliable and knowledgeable. Ibn Majah compiled Sunan Ibn Majah, which contains around 4,000 hadith and is considered one of the six canonical Sunni collections. He also authored works on Qur'an exegesis and history, though these have been lost. He died in Qazwin in 887 CE.
