[edit] Early life

Abd ar-Rahman ibn Nasir as-Sa'di was born in the city of Unayzah in the Qasim Province of Saudi Arabia on September 8, 1889 (12th of Muharram 1307 H). His mother died when he was

four years old and his father when he was seven. He was raised by his stepmother until he became old enough to live with his brother. As a child, he was known for his intelligence and memorized the Quran by the age of eleven. Even after memorizing the Qur'an, he continued to seek knowledge from the scholars of his town as well as those who passed through it, giving him experience in many Islamic disciplines.

[edit] Career
By the age of twenty-three, he was teaching students of his own. He was considered an expert in fiqh and usool al-fiqh. Initially, he adhered to the Hanbali school of Islamic law (madhab), as did his early teachers. He went on to study the works of Ibn Taymiyyah (d.1328) and Ibn al-Qayyim (d.1350) extensively, and, as he progressed in his studies, he no longer restricted himself to the Hanbali school, but rather followed the course he believed to be proven by the strongest evidences. He was also an expert in tafsir (Quranic exegesis or commentary), having read many books of tafsir and studied it under his teachers; he later authored a tafsir himself.
