Wikimedia Commons · CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication · file Al-Tirmidhi was born at Bugh, a village in the Tirmidh area. This is the stronger of the reported birth-place traditions in the cited biographical account. The source reports 209 AH as 824/825 CE and notes an alternative Mecca birth tradition; it judges Tirmidh/Bugh the stronger opinion. Coordinates are a representative point at the present Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi memorial site in Sherobod District; the exact historical village location is uncertain.
