What is a brief overview of Ibn al-Teen, what is his scholarly standing, when did he die, what is the name of his commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, and is it published or still in manuscript form?
There is no comprehensive biography of Ibn at-Tin, the commentator on al-Bukhari. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, in "Al-Isabah," briefly mentioned his name: "Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahid as-Safaqusi, known as Ibn at-Tin, the commentator on al-Bukhari." However, the author of "Hidayat al-Arifin" named him: "Abd al-Wahid ibn at-Tin as-Safaqusi al-Maghribi al-Maliki, the Hadith scholar." Ibn at-Tin holds a high status in the Islamic sciences and Hadith, which is evident from Hadith commentators quoting him, especially Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar. His commentary on al-Bukhari is titled "Al-Muhabbar al-Fasih fi Sharh al-Bukhari as-Sahih," but it has not been found in print or manuscript.
