Also known as Al-Shihab Abu Al-Khair Al-Jarhi Al-Shirazi, Ni’matullah was born in Shiraz in Safar of 815 AH and followed the Shafi’i school of thought. He received numerous hadiths from his father and people in Makkah.

Ni’matullah had a great love of learning and traveled from Makkah to Cairo in search of hadiths. He received many hadiths there and visited numerous sheikhs in order to learn. He worked in many branches of knowledge and developed a high level of proficiency and skill within a short period. He compiled knowledge and wrote excellent commentaries. He then headed back to his homeland in Shawwal of 839 AH and died shortly thereafter on 4 Rajab 840 AH.
