Abu Da'ud, Sulaiman bin Al-Ashath bin Ishaq Al-Azdi As-Sijistani, who was one of the eminent Imam of Hadith, was born in 202 H. He studied Ahadith under Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal along with Al-Bukhari and taught many of the later scholars of Hadith, like At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i.
Though ABu Da'ud colleced 500,000 Ahadith, he compiled 4800 Ahadith only in his book entitled As-Sunan, which he taught in Baghdad and other major cities at that time. He died at Basra on Friday in the month of Shawwal 275 H.
