The answer

Al-Hafiz Al-Dimyati is one of the great memorizers of , Qur'an reciters, and Shafi'i jurists. He was born in Damietta in the seventh century AH and died in 705 AH. He acquired knowledge of Hadith from Al-Hafiz Al-Mundhiri and Qur'anic recitations from Al-Kamal ibn Al-Darir. Among those who studied under him were Al-Nawawi, Al-Subki, and Al-Mizzi. One of his most important works is "Al-Matjar Al-Rabih" (The Profitable Trade), in which he mentions verses and Hadiths concerning the virtues of deeds, following a methodology that distinguishes between accepted and defective Hadiths. Some scholars may disagree with his rulings on Hadiths. The book is one of the best for beneficiaries, but "Riyadh Al-Salihin" by Al-Nawawi is sounder than it, and "Kitab Al-Targhib" by Al-Mundhiri is more comprehensive than it.
