description: "Al-Haytham ibn 'Adi was an Islamic historian and scholar, recognized for his systematic organization of historical narratives (akhbar). His methodologies and classifications had a significant impact on the field of Islamic historiography, influencing later historians such as al-Tabari and al-Baladhuri. Despite some critiques regarding his use of isnād, his works, including \"Tabaqat man rawa 'an al-Nabi\" and \"Kitab Tarikh al-Ashraf,\" remain important references in historical studies. Al-Haytham's contributions to documenting Islamic history have been widely acknowledged in academic circles."
