Abu al-Barakat al-Nasafi

Abdullah ibn Ahmad al-Nasafi (630–710 AH / 1234–1310 CE) was a major Hanafi scholar and Quran commentator of the 7th century AH. His Kanz al-Daqa'iq fi Furu' al-Hanafiyya is a concise but comprehensive summary of Hanafi jurisprudence that became one of the standard teaching texts of the school, generating several major commentaries (including al-Bahr al-Ra'iq by Ibn Nujaym and Tabyin al-Haqa'iq by al-Zayla'i). His Tafsir al-Nasafi, known as Madarik al-Tanzil wa Haqa'iq al-Ta'wil, is a respected Quran commentary that combines Ash'ari theology with Hanafi jurisprudential perspectives.
