Abstract

Studying the methods  of historians is one of the basics of historical studies that are of interest to the researcher and those working in this field. Since there has been so much writing, it has become the duty of researchers and historians to conduct a study on these works and the valuable information they contain that benefits both the reader and the researcher, and since Taqi al-Din al-Fasi was one of these historians. whose scientific achievements in various works contributed to supporting the scientific movement throughout the Islamic lands. For this reason, one of the works of Taqi al-Din al-Fassi is his book titled (Defining the highly status people whom  Al Dhahabi didnot mention from the Nobles) and one of the historical works in biographies that contained (1172) biographies to a man and a woman from various classes of Islamic society, which was the title of my research, which included (scholars, servants, ascetics, caliphs, ministers, princes, judges, theologians, merchants, and others) from the classes of Islamic society and others. And those who were divided according to the years of death, and Taqi al-Din al-Fasi mentioneds their information and traces, as this work is considered an appendix to the book Biographies of Noble Figures by Imam al-Dhahabi, who began writing it over the course of five decades from the year (741-790 AH / 1340-1388 AD). Therefore, it was a study of Taqi’s biography and method of Al-Din Al-Fasi presented this work in a broad and simplified manner throughout the book .
