Al-Khatib al-Baghadidi (1002-1071) was a Muslim preacher and scholar of the hadith. Al-Khatib is most well-known for Tarikh Baghdad (The History of Baghdad), which describes thousands of Baghdadi scholars. Like most of his writing, Tarikh Baghdad was intended as an aid for students of the hadith. Emily Selove is a PhD student in UCLA's department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures where she studies classical Arabic literature.
