# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Abū Dāwūd Sulaymān ibn al-Ash'ath ibn Isḥāq al-Azdī al-Sijistānī was a scholar of prophetic hadith working in an era when oral transmission still carried the weight of scripture. He compiled the Sunan Abu Dāwūd, which became the third of the six collections Sunni Muslims recognize as canonical—texts that preserve reported sayings and conduct of Muhammad. His work shaped how generations of jurists, theologians, and ordinary believers would derive religious rulings. The collection endures as a core reference in Islamic jurisprudence.
