Mishkat al-Masabih
Little is recorded of his life beyond the book. Mishkat al-Masabih is his revision of al-Baghawi's Masabih as-Sunnah: he named the source of every narration, added a third section to each chapter, and made it the handbook of hadith that madrasas from Delhi to Istanbul taught from for six centuries.
