Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Salih al-'Ijli al-Kufi (أبو الحسن أحمد بن عبد الله بن صالح العجلي الكوفي, 798 CE/182 AH – 874 CE/261 AH)

Biography
Al-'Ijli was born in Kufa during the period of Harun al-Rashid's rule, but was raised in Baghdad. In 197 AH, at the age of fifteen, he started to receive formal education in hadith studies. He later departed from Baghdad to Tripoli, possibly because of the events surrounding the Mihna, where he lived until his death.
