Biography
Abu Dawud was born in Sistan, eastern Iran (then-Persia) and died in 889 in Basra. Most of the Scholars believe he was born in Baluchistan now part of Pakistan (In Khuzdar or Kalat District of Baluchistan) and later moved to Khorasan. Widely traveled among scholars of hadith, he went to Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Hijaz, Tihamah, Khurasan, Nishapur, and Marv among other places in order to collect hadith. He was primarily interested in jurisprudence, and as a result his collection focused largely on legal hadith. Out of about 500,000 hadith, he chose 4,800 for inclusion in his work.
