Al-Hafiz Abdal Ghani
Al-Maqdisi
(d.600AH)
Attained Healing by Touching
Imam Ahmed
Ibn Hanbel’s (ra) Grave
Abu Muhammad `Abdul-Ghani al-Maqdisi (b.541AH/d.600AH)
He
is the Shaikh, the Imam, the `Alim, the Zahid, the Hafidh, Taqi ud-Din Abu
Muhammad `Abdul Ghani ibn `Abdul-Wahid ibn `Ali ibn Surur Al-Hanbali
Al-Maqdisi.
He
was a renowned theologian and one of the greatest Hanbali scholars of his age.
He was also a direct descent of `Umar Al-Faruq, the second khalifah of the
Muslims.
Imam
`Abdul Ghani Al-Maqdisi was born in the city of Jama`il (in today’s Palestine)
in the year 541 AH (1146 AD), on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
The
Scholar and His Students
Scholars
from the four corners of the Earth flocked to see him, hanging on his every
word and taking copious notes in the lectures that he gave some three times a
week.
His
students include many, but perhaps the most important of them was Imam
Muwaffaq ud-Din Ibn Qudamah, who transmitted many of his documents as well
as chains of transmission in the six hadith collections.
Later
Life and Death
Thus
in addition to being a towering figure in Hanbali fiqh, beginning to advanced
theology, Imam `Abdul Ghani was an accomplished master and commentator on
ahadith and their sub-sciences.
He
would later die in the year 600 AH (AD 1203), having lived a rich and
beneficial life that produced books and students that today the entire Ummah of
the Muslims still benefits from in manifold ways. May Allah bless this Imam and
give him admittance into the highest palisades of the Paradise.

Quote Wahhabi/Salafi:
Al-Haafidh Abdul-Ghaniyy al-Maqdisi (d. 600H)
He is: al-Imaam al-Haafidh Abu Muhammad Abdul-Ghaniyy bin
Abdul-Waahid bin Alee bin Suroor Ibn Raafi' bin Hussain bin Ja'far al-Maqdisi
al-Jammaa'eelee, then ad-Dimashqi, and he has also been given the appellation "Taqiyy
ud-Deen". […]
His creed
The creed of al-Haafidh Abdul-Ghaniyya is Sunni, Salafi, Athari, and he
was upon the way of the Salaf of affirming the Names and Attributes whilst
negating tashbeeh and takyeef from them - and this is what subjected him to
trial at the hands of the innovators.
He died on Monday, 23rd of Rabee al-Awwal in the year 600H, and
was buried in al-Quraafah in Egypt, the next day, and he left as a legacy to
his son, Abu Moosaa which was: "To safeguard the knowledge of
the science of hadeeth in which he tired himself in compiling and supporting,
and the taqwaa of Allaah, the Most High, and safeguarding the obedience to
Him".
