Death of Imam as-Suyuti

Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti, one of the most prolific scholars in Islamic history, died in Cairo. He authored over 500 works on hadith, tafsir, fiqh, Arabic language, and history. His Tafsir al-Jalalayn (co-authored with al-Mahalli), al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Quran, and Jami as-Saghir remain essential references today.
